    [SOLVED] High Cpu usage in games - Need input

    GTA is like a wicked stepchild. Games like it, with PvP, I don't try to do too much tweaking since I prefer max fps then quality. Siege comes to mind. I'm sure the cpu load would be lower, but it's not as bad as Division or WD2. Man, you have given me faith in humanity again lol. No but...

    [SOLVED] High Cpu usage in games - Need input

    Are these your videos? Thanks for posting these!! They truly show just how bad the problem really is. Origins would be fine but as soon as you reach the first city (Iwsa?) it maxes Cpu usage. Division as you said, is awful, along with other PvP games where high fps makes a major difference...

    [SOLVED] High Cpu usage in games - Need input

    I'm sorry for not including that I do have a Corsair AIO, and I am overclocked to 5ghz with mce disabled. I used to have a 4.9ghz oc because the Temps were a little high for 5ghz at the time. The difference was I updated to the latest bios, did the overclock again and now it's stable so far. My...

    [SOLVED] High Cpu usage in games - Need input

    That is very true. I understand the need to lowr the limit further, but that would be hampering when it comes to PvP like games. The suggestion to raise the graphical quality, I have never thought of doing that and seems interesting. I have seen in some games where the gpu is not maxed out. I...

    [SOLVED] High Cpu usage in games - Need input

    High cpu usage is the one area in pc gaming that I despise the most. It happens to me mostly with Ubisoft titles. I have seen some report non-Ubi games like BlackOps4 having high cpu usage as well. And it's absolutely not any system processes that causes this. It's the game itself. I have a...

    Need advice/recommendations on a mobo to pair with 8700k

    Thx for taking the time to provide info on these boards. One question, is there a difference between z370-F to a z370-H or Aorous Gaming 5 to Gaming 7? Is that based on extra features or are they revisions of the same board?

    Hey guys, I plan to pick up my 8700k cpu later on this week. I need some solid recommendations on what mobo I can pair it with. I have done some overclocking the past couple of builds and that trend will continue for this next cpu. I have had great experiences with Asus boards, even though I...

    Need help - trying to understand CPU usage in my system

    I recently upgraded my cpu from an i5-4690k to an i7-6700. I received it as a gift. Let me just say that games like BF1 & Dishonored 2 runs great at 60 fps, 1080p, and max settings with this cpu paired up with the 980Ti gpu. Here's what I don't understand. Many gamers I've come across run most...

    High CPU Usage | HELP Please!? D:

    I have the same exact problem as the OP. There is one constant in both situations, the i5-4690k. People say this CPU is more than capable to run games (I somewhat agree), but the cpu usage is not ideal. In fact, it's frustrating because some people say games are supposed to use that much cpu...
