High CPU Usage and Low Performance in Path of Exile 2

My Setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x 16-Core
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 (Newest Driver, NO NVIDIA APP (Geforce Exp.)
RAM: 32GB DDR4
OS: Windows 11 24H2

I think, the Multicore-Support needs some tweaking, not all Cores are evenly used:

Hi,
Same issue with freeze due to CPU usage.
Specs :
W11 24H2 updated
RTX3080
AMD 5700x3d

What i did :
Activate Resizable bar in CPU and GPU
Updated VBIOS on 3080
Tried Windows mode / Fullscreen
Updated every drivers
Only thing seems work a little is to limited the CPU usage in specialized monitoring software...

I have a lot of issue with explosions too with my grenadier which tank the fps. drops from 60 to 20 during explosion in 4k, arround 30fps in 1080p.

Good luck with optimizations.
Why almost all who have this problem is using Ryzen and rtx ? why my fps tanks when it hits cpu usage 100 ? i limited to 99 in power management, .Set the cache to 100 gb.It worked for like 2 days , kinda, now is back to tanking the fps even if i play in 480p.I play cyberpunk at 90 fps .This is so annoying.
отключение Hyper-Threading в настройках биоса помогло
I am having the same issue
rtx 3060 12gb
ryzen 7 5800x 4.7ghz after overclocking
win 11 pro
32gb ddr4 3600
about 600gb available on the ssd used


i haven't had a crash due to anything but loading into a new area. CPU hits around 95 to 100 usage and freezes with the audio on repeat of the last second of audio.

Thank you and hope this helps with the fix
Just want to bump this so it might get more attention. Ryzen 5 5600H & GeForce 3070 here, and I have horrendous framedrops pretty constantly in maps. (Indoor maps like crypt seem to work somewhat better)

GPU doesn't get a ton of use, CPU is hitting 100% pretty often. I mean it's not the fastest CPU out there, but it shouldn't be anywhere close to this bad. The game is in dire need of optimization or at least options to tone down whatever's causing this. Current graphics settings etc. don't help.
Not just Ryzen. Intel 10x too.
+1

The 100% spikes only happen on loading screens for me or when opening the map view.
Same here.

7950x3d
4090.

I've tried deleting shader cache
Put POE2 on max power, still get spikes when loading into a new zone
Same.

Ryzen 7 5800x
Nvidia 3090 24GB
32GB 3600
Plenty of SSD storage

Clearing Shader cache daily.
Setting POE to HIGH in the priority
Changed some of the Video Settings and locked it at 60fps, but will dip down to 40-50 during some transitions and levels.

Up until about a week ago I was getting 150-200. Nothing has changed.

NO, not on 24H2(I've blocked it). NO, nvidia App is not the cause, the settings are disabled that cause the frame drops.
