100% CPU Usage AC: Syndicate

[JustRapture]

Hi guys!

Today I used MSI Afterburner while playing AC: Syndicate and I realized that the CPU usage was 100% in all cores. My CPU is an i5 4670 with the stock fancooler, with 8GB of RAM and a GTX 970.
I tested Fallout 4 and my CPU usage is about 50%-55% in all cores, so I don't know if the game is really bad optimized or requieres a better CPU ( tbh, I think my i5 is really decent, I don't think it's bottlenecking my GPU or something).

Also, 50°-64° (Celcius) in the CPU under load ( e.g playing AC:Syndicate) are bad temps?

recomended is I7
min is i5
there are a lot a peeps running around there in AC where you think al that AI comes from. but the 100% isnt a big deal as long as you can play and aren't producing crashes.

teamps are fine BTW. you could go higher if you wanted to. 72~ca. even alittle higher no problem.

The new Assassin's Creed games are very CPU heavy, Unity does peg my 6600k to 100% in the areas with large crowds, and I imagine Syndicate will do the same. Fortunately I generally stay at 60FPS and still seem to be GPU bound most of the time when I do drop a bit below that, so it doesn't seem to hurt performance significantly.

So long as you aren't running into performance problems, or run into overheating issues, which you aren't, you don't need to worry about it. Some games are just more CPU heavy than others.

... ac will variate your crowd depending on your resourse of you pc so if you have more cpu avlible you may have a bigger crowd and when you are in a "battel" the crowd will dynamically adjust so you pc can focus on you. i heard it on youtube and found it to be a really neat trick /feature to deal with the resources of each independent computer. sorta like a distracting magic trick you look one way and something happens somewhere else.
