I'll never fucking understand unreal engine.

Somehow the developers made it so that when you have everything on low settings your CPU runs at like near 90% while your GPU is at 30%?

But by turning all the settings up to epic your GPU runs at 70% while your CPU drops to 20%???

What fucking black magic bullshit is this!

@Mr_NutterButter
At low settings the GPU doesn’t have much to do, so the CPU can go full throttle, while on max settings the GPU is spending so much time working on graffic the CPU is waiting for it to catch up and has lower usage.

It is generally true of most games though, but UE probably comes with an added side of DLSS TAA motion blur post process garbage at every setting. But it’s why for gaming benchmarks, in CPU benchmarks people run at low resolutions and settings but for GPU they run at max settings 4k.

@Mr_NutterButter do you have your fps capped? More frames = more cpu usage.

@beardalaxy I do but I also get more frames when I put my settings on high which sounds paradoxical to me.
