First time posting after i cant find any solutions. Please go easy
Okay so here is my issue.
After buying a 144Hz monitor, I was aiming to hit 144 fps in BF4 in order to make the most of it. However, the CPU usage of the game seems to be fixed at 100% no matter what settings i choose, meanwhile, the GPU usage across both cards varies depending on the game settings. As the settings are lower, the GPU usage is lower, resulting in NO increase in fps.
This is causing me much frustration and would really appreciate some help on the issue
What ive tried so far:
1) Updating to latest GPU drivers (Were already installed)
2) Unpacking cores on my CPU (No idea if that even does anything)
3) Re-installed the game to my SSD
Screenshots for proof of issue: (Note CPU/GPU Usage and current FPS)
NOTE - Game resolution is set to 1080p no V-sync etc.
1) 200% Render resolution and default Ultra Settings.
