Is My CPU Usage Normal for Fortnite?

-

Hey everyone, I’ve got an R5 5600G paired with an RX 6600XT and 16GB of RAM (2x8GB, 3200MHz CL22). I’m experiencing around 50% CPU usage while playing Fortnite, which I know is a CPU-intensive game. Shouldn’t this be higher, like 70% or 80%? I’m also getting some FPS stutters, with my frame rate dropping from the capped 165 down to 80 during matches, especially in modes like The Pit FFA. Am I facing some kind of issue here? What can I do to improve my performance?

It might be a GPU issue, depending on your graphics settings and resolution. If you’re running at a high resolution or with settings maxed out, your GPU could be bottlenecking the performance. Try lowering some settings or see if adjusting your resolution helps.

Got it, I’ll try tweaking the settings and see if that improves things. Thanks!
