Help! CPU 100% usage, low GPU usage and bad FPS.

[maruhuang]

• CPU: i7-8700
• GPU: RTX 2080
• RAM: 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI B360M MORTAR
• Driver Version: Nvidia 460.79

As soon as I start the game, the CPU usage is 100% immediately, even in the main menu.
The most outrageous thing is that FPS is only 20-30 when the graphics set to the lowest.
I'm dying if I can't play 2077 smoothly, any help will be appreciated.

had the same prob, then noticed that I have "high performance" power plan with min 100% max 100% CPU usage - after setting it to 5% min 70% max (Ryzen 4800H on notebook - p.s. works flawlessly) temps dropped from 80C to 55-60C with zero performance drop
