100% CPU usage

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH4 Discussion

Hello everybody!

I have a problem with Horizon 4: The CPU usage is 100% regardless of the options. I have a notebook with 7300HQ (2.5 GHz without Hyperthreading) and a Mobile GTX1050TI 4GB. I usually play on the high setting at 60FPS. The utilization of the GPU is around 70%.

The game is really playable, but without V-Sync I constantly have small stutters, which I think is due to the CPU load. Even if I turn down the graphics options, it remains at 100% CPU utilization.

Is the processor just too weak or can something be done on the software side?

Thank you!

You’ll have to use vsync then.

Run the benchmark and adjust the settings so it comfortably gets 60fps minimums without getting near to 100% cpu or gpu usage, so there is some breathing space when the game gets a lot going on onscreen (the benchmark isn’t quite as taxing as actual gameplay can be).
