Low GPU and CPU usage

Why am I getting low FPS with low GPU and CPU usage when I'm spawning many cars? Which component is actually bottlenecking?

5 cars spawned in Utah:



6 cars spawned in Utah:

 

Edit

Could be your GPU; adding more cars would quickly slow down your processor.

 

Nothing should be bottlenecking, you have a 970 and an i7-6700. I have worse than that and it runs fine. Maybe need @Nadeox1 one here to help you.

 

I pressed J and my FPS went up a lot so my CPU is bottlenecking when using many cars. But why I'm getting 45FPS with 60% CPU usage when my PC could get 60FPS with 100% CPU usage?

I spawned 7 different cars and one truck and got 20FPS with 80-85% CPU usage. Why isn't it 100%?

Doesn BeamNG support hyperthreading?

 

How hot is your CPU?

 

it does.
But. BeamNG physically cant use 100% of a CPU, the other 15-20% could easily be other windows tasks.

Otherwise your numbers are normal. BeamNG uses 1 thread per vehicle. 4 vehicles, therefore 4 threads. Your PC is 8 threads. Therefore BeamNG can physically only use 50% of the CPU with 1 vehicle.

 

Around 50°C in heavy load. My cooler is SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224 v2.

Thanks, that explained a lot!

 

I have an overclocked gen5 i7, and a MSI 1060 3G graphics card... I have had no issues with lag except when loading a scenario/game... which the time it takes is simply a function of the MB to load and the speed of my Hard Disk drive... sometimes when "entering" the level after the loading screen, the game may stutter while it is rendering the first 10-100 frames... after it does that, the game runs fine. It may be something to do with the amount of data needed to load the scenario/game, and map you have set up, and the speed of your HDD. All other aspects of the game such as real time rendering and FPS require your CPU, RAM, and GPU to be adequate, rather than your HDD.

If you have the time/money/motivation, considering buying a Solid State Drive of 250GB or above, installing the hardware onto your system, and then re-installing the BeamNG Drive game onto the SSD. This will significantly decrease load times and make the game run smoother.

 

I already have two 250GB SSD's. Crucial BX100 and Samsung 850 EVO which I got for free when I bought my GPU
