I bought this pc like 4 5 years ago had a 970 before 1080 ti i wanted to do a huge pc upgrade but it will take time and i started with the gpu thats why its looks like this now but ofc i will replace everything in time but its like i playing apex legends with freinds whos cpu dont even close to be 100% but my cpu stuck at 100% and dont move down and cuz of it discord talk is lagg for me youtube music freeze and things like that

I see only 2 cores at 100% in your pics. Sometimes your other cores hit 100% but the current value is not showing me your CPU is running 100% on all cores.

Your CPU should handle what you want as is but the power requirements of your system dictate that it is underpowered. It should crash but its not, temps look ok. You may want to backup your important data and reinstall windows. Many times issues like you describe are caused by corruption or conflicting software.

Honestly, I don't have a ------------- clue why the OP's system fails so hard.

-4770k @4.45 GHz
-ASUS Maximus VI Hero
-3440X1440 resolution
-GTX 1080@stock
-FPS capped @60
-Acer Predator X34 3440X1440 100Hz monitor
-HT disabled as the game runs practically on 2 cores.

I am playing Civ VI all the time these days.

Because I was using the HWIFO64 real-time graph recording feature to check for voltage spikes for my OC, I found out that the game practically runs on 2 cores. The voltage spikes would look smt like that:

Core 0: 1.248V-to 1.280V
Core 1: 0.5-1.024V
Core 2: 1.248V to 1.280V
Core 3: 0.5-1.024V

There is no way in hell that a 4790K struggles and runs at a constant 100% with this game, unless the OP is trying to make it run at 144Hz at 4K which is completely unreasonable (to use sweet language, normally I'd use harsher language) for this game as it's not an FPS shooter and there's no reason for FPS over 60.

Idk, I see all sorts of strangeness in here, it's as if all the ppl with the jinxed DIS BE DA VOODOO MON systems come and post here.
