FPS Problems with not maxed GPU and CPU

[emu1981]

Hello my specs are:

W10
i5-6600 3,6Ghz
16GB DDR4
GTX 1060 6GB

So when i check on MSI Afterburner my GPU is only at 50-60% load and my 4 CPUs around 70-90%. But ingame i have consistently 40-55 FPS and i plays very bad. Also yesterday night when i changed all settings to low restarted + Future frame rendering etc. i had very fluent 60 fps except on later progression of the map when the destruction was high or some very high density areas like the middle of the big steel bridge.

Ingame settings atm:
Everything in Low / off
GPU Mem restriction off
Future rendering on
Directx 12 off
High Dynamic Range Auto (not sure what this does)
Res Scale 100%
Fullscreen
Vsync off
Framerate cap to 60

The minimum required CPU is the i5 6600K. Your low GPU usage shows that you are experiencing CPU bottlenecking. Your GPU meets the recommended specs though.

The odd thing is though that the recommended CPU for AMD is the Ryzen 3 1300X quadcore CPU which looks to have very similar performance to the i5 6600. I cannot think of any reason why the 1300X would meet the recommended requirements but the i5 6600 would be below the minimum requirements as the only real difference that I see is that the 1300X officially supports faster DDR4 memory and has more L3 cache.
