Hey
Sometimes when I walk around in different parts of the map in the game my fps, which is capped at 75, drops a little bit, which leads to some stutter or a spike.
I checked for the problem and nothing seems out of the ordinary besides the cpu usage, which is usually at 60-70% when the game is running and when the fps drops the cpu usage goes up to 90% so I believe the cpu is the problem.
My rig:
▶ Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 2GB
▶ Intel Core i5 7400 3.0GHz
▶ 8GB RAM 2400hz DDR4 Hynix
▶ Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

I tried checking for viruses, deleting stuff that I don't need, closing some services and unparking my cores.
Is there a way to keep the cpu usage stable so I won't face those fps drops?
Thanks!

You can also increase the Virtual memory. First search Windows for "Performance" and then select "Adjust Windows Appearance and Performance ". Then select "Change Virtual Memory under the Advanced tab. Next select the Custom option and the system drive. Then I suggest setting the minimum to 10,000 MB and the maximum to 15,000 MB.

This uses a small amount of your system drive as temporary memory. You can also do the same you other drives. This will increase the system resources, and should noticeably reduce the lag that you noted. But it can only do so much. The memory will probably need to be increased.

It is normal for the FPS to fluctuate as the demand on the display changes. More complex images on the display present more demand and the FPS goes down. The best way is to choose a graphics card with more VRAM. The graphics card is also affected by the system memory. In other words if the system memory usage is high, it will have a detrimental affect on the display too.

So check the Windows Task Manager for CPU % and Memory % usage. If it is high, you can install more RAM to compensate. You can also use the Start up tan of Task Manager to reduce the applications running in the background. Disable any applications (not system or necessary applications) that have a medium or high impact on the Windows startup. Also disable all applications that aren't used every few days. This doesn't delete the application. It just prevents them from running constantly.
