So i've been running some tests, trying to figure out what is causing the microstutters aboard the Tempest and other areas of the game (including cutscenes). I tried running the game on Low, Medium, High, Ultra graphics settings and still got stuttering. Tried a couple of different drivers from Nvidia and that still didn't solve the problem. So I concluded that the problem must lie elsewhere. Today i decided to Alt-Tab out of the game and check Task Manager to see what CPU usage the game was drawing. As you can see from the screenshot, its alarmingly low. And i had the game set to High graphics settings when i took that shot. My PC specs are as follows:- Intel Core i7 6850K CPU @ stock 32GB DDR4 RAM 2x GTX1080Ti's in SLI Asus ROG Swift Monitor running at 2560x1440 @ 144hz 1TB Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD 960 Pro as boot drive Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (build 1703)

30% of total CPU out of 12 virtual CPU's is not alarmingly low.
Next time get a screen of the Performance tab with CPU usage broken out by thread.

Ok so here is core usage with Battlefield 1 And now here is core usage with Mass Effect Andromeda So as you can see, ME:A is mainly using CPU 2 while the rest of the cores are only using half speed or none at all. In comparison, Battlefield is maxing out several cores. Something's not right with ME:A.
