Struggling with Performance Issues on a High-End PC

-

Hey fellow Helldivers! I’m reaching out for some help with a frustrating issue I’m facing. I’ve got a solid gaming rig with a GeForce 3090, an Intel i9-10900K running at 4.9 GHz, 64GB of fast RAM, and an SSD, yet I’m only getting around 30fps in Helldivers 2. Task Manager shows my CPU is nearly maxed out at 100% all the time. I know the game can be CPU-intensive, but I feel like there’s something simple that I might be overlooking. I’ve put almost 150 hours into this game, and it’s starting to really get on my nerves. Any thoughts or fixes you can share would be super appreciated! For Super Earth!

What Intel i9 are you using? If it’s the 9900K, that could be an issue. But if you’re on the 10900K, that should be more than enough for this game.

Hey! Have you set a frame rate cap to 30 fps by any chance? That might affect performance and cause your CPU to work harder than necessary.
