I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE FIX TO 50% CAPPED CPU UTILIZATION.

FIX: ROLLED GAME BACK TO VERSION 1.0.4 AND MY FPS RETURNED TO 70ish FROM 30ish. [removed 08/03/2021 by @Ubi-Woofer]

My Specs:

Gigabyte GTX 1070 Rock Edition
Core i5 2500K OC'ed @ 4.5 GHz
16 GB RAM 1600 MHz
Nvidia Drivers Version: 461.72.

Wassaaapp? Guess who's back from the jail. Yeah baby, it's me The OG babayy *shows tattoos got from jail

Check my specifications and Performance. Average FPS 69 on Core i5 2500K with GTX 1070 and 16 GB 1600MHz RAM. I achieved this b rolling back my game to version 1.0.4. I am not using SSD. Surprised? Yes you must be. Because after Update 1.1.0, CPU Usage is locked to 50% and FPS went straight to 30ish in my case. I rolled back game and achieved 69 FPS again. Rollback the game and get ultimate performance. I know some of you might have 2070s, 3070s..3080s and high end processors, you guys can get even more FPS after rolling back to version 1.0.4. And yes, don't forget, actual credit goes to Ubisoft who created AC Valhalla. If there was no Ubisoft, there would've never been Valhalla..

Listen Ubisoft, We certainly Love you.

All we are saying is that Game was working PERFECTLY fine in Update 1.0.4. But, after updating it to 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, in all updates, CPU Usage is stuck to 50% and FPS went straight from 70ish to 30-40ish.

Ubisoft, please, either create a Rollback Patch to roll game back to 1.0.4 or somehow fix this 50% CPU Usage. You did it alright in 1.0.4. You can certainly do that again. We believe in you. Love you, please I'm sitting still for months waiting to get 50% CPU Utilization fix. Please, release it, I'm suffering from depression, losing faith in life, release it before COVID-19 hits me. I wanna play AC Valhalla so desperately, I hope you will consider my request.

Good afternoon, dear devs.

CPU Utilisation is stuck to 50% on an Intel CPU at all graphical settings and my FPS went from 60-70 to 30-40. This issue began from update 1.1.0. Everything was perfectly fine in update 1.0.4. I updated graphics drivers, updated Windows, I tried everything even I rolled back graphics drivers. Nothing changed. CPU Utilisation is stuck to 50% on the exact same hardware. Please resolve this issue in a hotfix or in future update. Thank you.

So CPU Utilization issue hasn't been fixed yet even after 4 updates?

I'm truly Empressed, bravo Ubisoft. Very Empressive.

@dignite_ Empressive Question. But unfortunately I will be banned again if I tell. So can't do. One thing I'm going to tell is that I'm really enjoying Valhalla at 70~90 FPS with Full CPU Utilization 90~100% on all cores with all settings maxed out except World Details which are @Medium. All other settings Clutter etc are at MAX. I'm truly in love with this game, I'm glad I got to see such beautiful game in my lifetime. It gives you Ezio Auditore Vibes if you play with male Eivor. Music by a legend Jesper Kyd, and yes SHAWN and REBECCA are BACK!! I'm in love with this game and it runs butter smooth on my intel processor core i5 2500K and GTX 1070 @1080p All Maxed Out Except World Details which need better processor. I'm s
feeling sorry for all those suffering with COU Utilization issue, Sorry Ubisoft you created a masterpiece but you ruined its experience by your own hands but please fix it asap, some players are still waiting to play because they will get only one opportunity in their lifetime to finish the game for the first time!

Can someone please benchmark game with new update 1.2 and check if CPU Utilization is still stuck to 50% Usage or not? Can someone please confirm this please?

Good afternoon, my favourite Devs. Ubisoft.

CPU Utilisation is capped/locked/stuck at 50% on intel CPU. That brought my FPS from 60-70 to 30-40 on the exact same hardware. Everything was alright in version 1.0.4 on the same hardware, but in 1.1.0 and all other updates including 1.1.2, CPU Utilisation is stuck to 50%. I updated Nvidia Drivers, Updated Windows, Updated Game, I literally did everything I could but CPU Utilisation is still stuck to 50%. Ubisoft, you did it alright in 1.0.4 and I'm 100% sure you can certainly do that again. Kindly fix CPU Utilisation issue, please. I really really wanna play this game but due to CPU Utilisation issue, my FPS are very low and I'm unable to enjoy this masterpiece. This is the best game you created so far in Assassin's Creed franchise and I hope you will fix this issue very soon in an upcoming hotfix or update.

Please consider my request, I'll be very grateful, dear Ubisoft.


A loyal fan of yours. Love y'all.

@kvsh88 If CPU Utilization is still 50% then how did your FPS increase? Can you please elaborate little bit because I am about to do the same thing
