I have high cpu usage on fortnite and bf4. I have I5 8400 (3.8ghz) gtx 1080 and 8gb (3200mhz) ram (later upgrade to 16gb). In fortnite My cpu usage is around 85% and gpu 60% fps is usually around 120-170 on epic settings and In bf4 both are In 100% on ultra and fps is around 100-130 on 64 multiolayer match. I don't believe it is bottleneck. But what i have to do with fortnite to get gpu usage higher and In bf4 cpu usage lower. It is not heating problem. I play 1080p 144hz monitor. Sorry for bad english hopefully you understand

Hi simo_v,

First off usage is not a target, aiming for a certain percentage is a fools errand, 100% isn't necessarily bad unless you have stuttering/fps issues and trying to get usage up while on highest settings is not a good thing as your putting unnecessary load on the device. If you want better usage on BF4 lower the settings/shut down any non-essential apps you only have an i5 8400 (which is 2.8Ghz and boost of 4Ghz) so can't overclock and without upgrading they are your only options.
