7700K cpu usage 90~100% while gaming
Hi everyone, so I have a gaming PC with GTX 1080 Ti, i7-7700K, 16GB Ram, and Hydro Series™ H100i for the cpu cooler.

However, I think there is a problem with my PC. A while ago I stopped watching videos/streams on my second monitor while playing, because it caused the games I play to lag so much. I tried fixing that but I couldn't find any solutions.

Today, I was playing Battlefield V and it was a bit laggy with nothing else running on the PC and the Cpu usage was around ~100% most of the time. Here is a screenshot of my task Manager while playing and a screenshot of my settings. https://imgur.com/a/HP2bRiU

So, is this normal for this game? is my cpu not good enough?

Also, can I stream with this set up? because I tried streaming (with ENVEC Encoder, 2500 Bitrate, 1080 Resolution, and 60fps) and I still got 100% cpu usage and all the games I was playing (OW, R6, BO4, ROE, Fortnite, and BFV) started to stutter.

winks, what are you talking about. someone who has a $600 GPU and a $300 CPU shouldn't be getting suggestions to play at 30fps or 720p. Do you even know about those components???? That's so unfortunate that the 7700k is being the bottleneck in a game like this. Shouldn't be happening. CoD needs to get optimizing and fix this issue.

Yes 4 core cpus will be taxed by BF5. BF5 is one of the most cpu intensive games out there. When you say the game is lagging do you mean frame rate crashes? I'd think with that cpu you should be able to maintain 60fps at 1080p with little trouble once you've optimized your game settings.
