7950 won't use 100% cpu in bf4

[Mikmono317]

I have a 7950 oced to 1100 mhz and a 6300 oced to 4.4 and when i monitor the usage it is at 60-80% and nerver over. it would be great if someone could help me. and yes I have done the core unpark thing.

 

[getochkn]

is your cpu maxed out by chance then? also what settings are you running at?

 

[airplanegeek]

um, its not supposed to use 100%. if it did something is wrong

i also have a 6300(OC 4.2) and a GTX 760. my CPU usage never goes above 65%, except in benchmarks. BF4 only uses about 55% of my CPU, even in 64p servers. So why are you worried. the less it uses, the better, right?

 

[Mikmono317]

ok so I was talking about my cpu not my gpu and yes It is good to run at 100% and I did run prime95 on my 4.4 oc for 5 hours 100% the whole time

how is it good to run at 100%? where did you get that idea from? the lower the better- less power usage, less heat etc

 

[Mikmono317]

But that's what im saying it's not that good frames and why would you not want to run at 100 in game that would result in better frames.

thats not always the case. check that BF4 has all 6 cores allocated under affinity in task manager.also, what usage do you get idle on the desktop?

0-10 using chrome :UPDATE: all the cores are being used

Do you have issues only in bf4?

idk I just only noticed it in bf4 one sec

so you said the frame rate is not very good? please tell me what settings you are using. also, disable vsync, and press the ~ and type perfoverlay.drawfps 1(while in game)and take another screenshot like the one you did, so i can see your framerate? my GTX 760 is about = with a 7950, and i get 70-90 fps on ultra

full ultra like aa that sounds unlikely but I will do so

Errm you do know that taskmanager shows just the CPU usage? Games use the gpu...
Your CPU running at 100% would mean it bottlenecks the GPU! If you want to know the GPU load use tools like gpu-z, I prefer radeonpro.

read the whole thread
i think he knows that it shows cpu usage, and maybe having english as a second language? has caused this confusion. he said it lags, even when the cpu usage is at 60%. so there is something wrong with his drivers for the gpu or something

I have read it...
But having a CPU at 100% load while playing games is not good as it could bottleneck the whole system (not the case here as it runs at ~60%). Low FPS usually result in bad drivers/software incompatibility or graphic settings too high 😛

If you played with moar frames before the last change you made is probably the problem, if you just build/bought your PC check for new drivers or adjust graphic settings (check how other hd7950s play your games)

Just my ideas 😀

I don't know if it's up completely but here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa_9vfy5eIs I am also trying to learn editing so that's why it has the thing in it and all the choppy bits of the video are because sony vegas doesn't like to render my video. (P.S are you saying I have English as a second language because if so it is because I am a bad speller 😀)

 

[getochkn]

ok, tldr, is it your CPU that isn't hitting a 100 or your GPU isn't hitting a 100%? I'm confused on this whole thread.

cpu is not hitting 100

Mantle should fix the issue with the cpu usuage problems in BF4.The mantle update should be out in the next month.

UPDATE. I just read that you are an Nvidia user. Sorry🙁

No I'm amd it's the 7950

 

[airplanegeek]

How does your cpu performs with stock settings mabey its after all your oc

you have an AMD hd 7850 twin frozr? what the heck is that? a mixture of sapphire and msi?

 

[jay2577]

Then I would wait until the Mantle update comes out in December. It should sort out your problems, fingers crossed

My last graphics card was a sapphire and my new one is Msi :lol:
Thanks for pointing it out i'll change my sig

You still haven't made it clear what the problem is.
