Why is my gaming PC struggling with performance?

-

Hey fellow Helldivers! I’m reaching out because I’m experiencing some serious performance issues while playing. Here are my specs: I’m running an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090, an Intel Core i9-10900K at 4.9 GHz, and 64GB of fast RAM, all on an SSD. Despite this powerful setup, my game is barely hitting 30 FPS, and my CPU usage is constantly at 100% in the Task Manager. I’ve tried various fixes, but nothing seems to work. I know Helldivers 2 is pretty CPU-heavy, but I’m starting to feel like I’m missing something really obvious. I’ve got nearly 150 hours in the game already, but my patience is running thin! Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated. For Super Earth!

Have you set a frame rate cap? Sometimes that can cause performance issues if it’s not set right. Just double-check your settings!

Actually, I haven’t capped my FPS to 30. Thanks for the tip!

I see you have an i9; just to confirm, is it the 9900K? Sometimes those models have quirks and might need tweaks in the BIOS for better performance.

Oops, my mistake! It’s actually the i9-10900K.
