Battlefield V likes as much CPU power as it can get. But it also likes GPU...

There is a free to play game Armored Warfare (crysis engine?), which I genuinely used to test stability of my cpu. 8 threads fully loaded and probably with some form of AVX.

Reviews of upcoming Mount&Blade also note how it loads 16+ threads (mostly for NPC on battlefield).

Arma3 was notorious for being bound by single thread performance and low latency memory.

on a old midrange i5 6500 b5 does a solid 30+ fps on ultra and cpu load doesn't top out so I find the claim that it needs a top of the line cpu very dubious. I'll try armored warfare since it's free.

so just tested out armored warfare and at full had maximum quality I get 60fps with 70% cpu utilization on a i5 6500 with the rx570 gpu

If you are interested in cpu being utilised, should lower graphics setings from ultra. On ultra GPU is the main bottleneck. Try same on Low settings
