Hi

So basically whenever i play any of the maps in Killing floor 2 my GPU just will not got 100% usage when i turn vysnc off and put variable framerate on which unlocks the framerate. I started looking into as this mostly happens on outpost but when there are a lotf o zeds, blood, particles the framerate just drops and the GPU and CPU aren't maxing out so i am wondering why the game is doing this.

I have tested out many games unvysnced to check my card can go 100% and it can as i have tried max max, dishonored, Skyrim, far cry 4, assassins creed syndicate. All these games have no problem maxing my GPU out so why is Killing Floor 2 having such problems?

Any ideas?

Killing floor 2 was not meant to be played on such high spec sistems and was optimized poorly, it is the game's fault

50% CPU usage does not mean you aren't CPU bound. You have 4 cores, and it only take 1 to be at near 100% to bottleneck you. If the game only uses 2 cores, you'd be completely bottlenecked at 50% usage.

I get 40-50% cpu usage across all cores. I have thread optimisation on in the control panel. Is their any .ini fixes or something like that.

So is there anything i can do to force the game to use all my core correctly..... i wish developers would just let engines use all of the cpu rather than just force 2 cores..

Wayfall :

The way Haswell load balances the CPU, it's hard to say, but I'd guess it uses 2 cores, rather than 4. Developers can't just "let" the CPU use 4 cores instead of 2, they have to split the work up manually, and figure out a way to make things that work linearly to split up to 4 cores, yet still do everything in order. That is no small feat, so most dev's don't try. Some of the AAA games are starting to use a lot of cores now that consoles do. They are building engines capable of it, so there is hope in the future.
