High CPU utilization in RDR2. ¿Is this normal?

[LautaroPRZ]

My combo is Ryzen 5 5600, RX 6700 XT, 16GB, ssd m.2, gigabyte B550.
I saw some benchmarks of RDR2 with my components, and the CPU usage is around 60%.

These are the metrics and graphics settings i'm using. There is no performance issue or stuttering, the FPS are more than okay, but it seems weird to me that a game GPU demanding like RDR2, is using a lot of CPU, same thing happens in Fortnite and Hell Let Loose, i know they are shooters and CPU demanding but sometimes reaches 100%.

All of my components have 2 years of normal use, in gaming mostly.

Maybe I don't know how a CPU works, and when I don't limit the FPS, the CPU is giving all the resources to offer the maximum FPS possible.

Well yeah taking off the frame limiter will use more resources. That's like flooring the gas pedal in a car and being amazed that it uses more fuel.

You are going to laugh at me, you know what it was? THE FKNG WINDOWS DEFENDER, now the CPU usage is normal, sorry for wasting your time and everyone who saw this thread.

Realtime protection was interfering? Otherwise Defender shouldn’t be running a background scan of the drive while a game is launched.

Yup, it was that

Youre right fucking windows bs.

Same old crap would happen in Windows 98SE if Norton Antivirus was running.


Watch this to see user settings in that game user has vulkan

It’s never happened to me with 23H2 and 24H2. I went from W10 to W11 23H2. Perhaps turning on game mode pauses background processes.

Thats cool but the fix for the user was to turn it off.

Yeah it likes to kick in and do scans whenever it wants to. Next time just look at task manager processes and see what's using the most.

There should be a way to adjust run times via task scheduler, but alas dejavu like Windows 98SE with Norton Antivirus.

I think that only happens when it’s missed a scheduled scan from a past day then a high priority scan irregardless of what the PC is being used for runs.

I’ve had real-time protection interfere more with scanning the drive using a disk cleaner or just causing extra overhead head while installing a game.

 

[LautaroPRZ]

Literally i googled it, and there is a ticket from a user to microsoft, that shows the steps to unable it in task scheduler but it wasn't enough, the solution is in the second method,it is excluding "MsMpEng.exe" in Windows Defender Exclusions.

Yeah windows defender is just one of the culprits, you also have indexing service, that once you start ge4tting a large amount of files on your drive will esssentially get stuck in permarun mode and it's -10% performance in everything once it's going.

Holly cow 140w on 5600 in rdr2 ? My 10700f doesnt even need half of that

Well, i will have in mind that files in a future and search about it, thanks.

Thats the GPU PWR

sorry, I read that graph like a complete retard.

Do you suspect this might be a part of stutters/microstutter in other threads?

Not really. I have indexing (with file content!) on everywhere and it has never really been a problem.
