My 20-core i5-13600KF CPU
That's a 14 core CPU.
20 threads, not cores.

I enjoyed The Callisto Protocol for its stunning visuals, sound and superb atmosphere but the game is sadly marred by annoying melee combat and absolutely abysmal optimisation.

My 20-core i5-13600KF CPU is hardly being used in this game and GPU usage is usually well below 100% as well yet the game constantly dips below 60 fps at 1440p on my RTX 3080 and has some awful stuttering too despite the game having been out for over a month with multiple patches since release. The developers just do not seem capable of (or maybe they just don't care about) optimising the game which is a shame because I think the potential was there for a spiritual successor to the Dead Space franchise.

Yeah the game is incredible looking but I feel like its pointless as a benchmark because of how crap the CPU/GPU utilization is. Especially with RT on. GPU sits at like 60% usage and it's using like 2-4 cores and they aren't even maxed out.. it's like what exactly is happening lol.. what's the bottleneck? It's obvious it's the CPU but it doesn't show it.
