BF3 85% - 92% PC usage in multi???

[BooDal]

Hello!
I've been playing BF3 for about 2 weeks (20+ hours total) and in
the past 2-3 days I'm experiencing some weird stuttering in multiplayer
maps. I alt-tabed to the task manager during a game and the pc usage was
88%-92%... Is this normal or should I'll be worried?
Tnx...

specs:
Core2Quad Q9300 2.5Ghz
Asus P5Q MoBo
6Gb RAM
ThermalTake TRII 500W PSU
HD 6850 1Gb OC Edition
Win7 64Bit

That should be normal since in single player mode it only uses 2 cores, but in multiplayer mode it can use up to 6 cores I think.

Thanks for the reply. Just wondered if the stuttering issue have
anything to do with the CPU usage being so high?

Yes, most probably. I'd get a CPU cooler and overclock that CPU.
