Weird CPU Bottlenecking

According to the performance graph in Beam, my CPU is bottlenecking. If i open the performance graph and look at the potential bottlenecks, "CPU GameEngine" is flashing orange and white. And it's affecting my FPS. On West Coast, with my Ryzen 5 5600 and my Intel ARC A750 GPU on high graphics, I would usually be getting an average of about 95 fps with traffic on, and I remember about 120 with traffic off before this issue. And now in West Coast, sitting idle when I spawn in, I have 54 FPS. And with traffic on, about 47 FPS average.

I just turned off Vertical Sync on West Coast and now is averaging out at 66 FPS, which is better but still low for what I'm used to. I tried turning off Vertical Sync in Gridmap V2 aswell, and it brought my average from 60 FPS to in the 250's. This issue with West Coast and other CPU demanding maps happens in Safe Mode as well. FYI this PC is about 8 months old and this problem I only noticed a few weeks ago. So I may just be stupid but I think the bottleneck is a problem. So please help! Thanks!

 

That's just how it is, Beam with traffic and high graphics settings is CPU heavy. I'm also CPU limited with 5600X & RX 6800 on west coast USA. Try Vulkan mode if you haven't and make sure you have enough RAM and that it's running at its full speed

 

Ok Ig I'm just oblivious to past frame rates then

 

Well if you're sure that it performs a lot worse with 100% same settings, it might be something to look into. But otherwise it sounds about expected to me. Make sure to sett traffic car amount to auto (leftmost slider position)
