[SOLVED] Why i have 100 % CPU usage while playing fortnite,

[Wacha10]

I build a new PC with Ryzen 3 1200 AF and RX 570 4 GB, 1x8 GB ram 3000 Mhz, and when i am playing fortnite my CPU usage is 100 % and it working on 3.44 Ghz (its maximum frequency) the result is i have masive FPS drops, stutters and i have 30-100 FPS when i should have +144 or something like that. Please respond and sorry for my english. If any questions ask me

1x8gb RAM will seriously impact gaming performance. You need dual channel and ideally 2x8gb. Also a 4 core/thread cpu is going to get 100% usage in many games, it is the minimum for modern gaming.

Yes but in tests on YouTube people had normal fps and normal usage

Firstly don’t believe everything on YouTube, there are lots of fakes or misleading information. Assuming these videos are real were they using dual channel RAM?

differently

the problem is that when i have 100% CPU usage everything is laggy but when i have 60 or lower evething is fine

just the processor is running too high

The processor is fine and to be expected. From the benchmarks I’ve seen you will loose about 30% of your FPS by running single channel. By limiting the FPS to 60 you are reducing the cpu workload and how quickly it needs to access RAM.

Unfortunately on 60 FPS is the same too

Do some searching, you really need dual channel RAM and especially with Ryzen.

The loss of FPS could be your RAM getting full too and the drive using the pagefile. That would greatly reduce the performance.

And yes. You should buy 2x8GB RAM KIT for the dual channel. A lot of FPS already loss with this.

It would but you really want 2x8gb.
