Latency, low frames, and high cpu time in warzone

Status
Not open for further replies.
I recently bought my first pc
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processer GHz
32 GB RAM
geforce GTX 1660 Ti

when I first started playing warzone on this pc I was playing at high frames. The main screen would stay at 60 FPS and never move. CPU time would stay at 7-8 main screen and would generally stay around 12 in game. A couple weeks ago I started getting a high cpu time 20-30 main screen with frames fluctuating from 25 - 60 before settling around 45 moving up or down a couple frames. When I get into the game at this point the cpu time goes back to what it was before around 12-15 in game. Frames around 70-100 but jumping when a couple weeks ago they were consistently above 100. I also started getting a lot of latency in the last few days that results in low frames and just makes it impossible to play the game with any consistency. Latency is fine for a bit, maybe some slight skipping then will jump up to upwards of 300 ms.
From what I understand I shouldn’t be having these issues with the setup I have. As I stated before I am new with PCs and just don’t know what I’m doing. GPU time is consistently fine. It’s only issues with the cpu time. I’m generally using about 33% from the cpu so it doesn’t make sense to me why I am having the issues I am. I would appreciate any help
 
I’ve tried that. I see it in the update history, but when I go into “uninstall updates” it doesn’t show up. I did an advanced reboot and uninstalled the last quality update twice. I have no way of knowing if it uninstalled that update or not.
 
while not a gamer and therefore have never cared or delved into FPS stuff, the first thing I'd be doing is a complete PC maintenance process.

so things like;
  • reboot modem/router/pc
  • delete restore points
  • turn off hibernation
  • empty web browser cache
  • delete system temp files
  • scan Windows for system corruption
  • scan drive for file corruption
  • disable unwanted scheduled tasks
  • disable unnecessary startup services
  • disable scheduled defragging
  • trim any SSD's
  • turn off Timeline and Activity History, and all things Microsoft Telemetry based
  • empty recycle bin
  • delete log files and error reports
  • remove old Windows Updates files
  • cleanup software installer and distribution caches
  • delete unwanted programs
and either CCleaner or Glary Disk Cleaner or the inbuilt cleanmgr command can do most of those points.
also ShutUp10 by O&O Software can stop a lot of telemetry items.

other things to try;
  • create another user account and login under that profile
  • check for firmware updates for modem/router and PC BIOS

So I’m looking at it right now. I decide to start the game one more time to see if I noticed anything else. I did. I noticed the graphics card is at 1-2% usage while playing the game. I am trying to find what is causing this but haven’t found a solution so far. When I pull up task manager while playing the game it shows my power usage as “very high”. I feel like this could be what’s causing my cpu time to be so much higher. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. HDMI is plugged into the graphics card btw
