computer hits 100 percent cpu usage when playing games causing stuttering

[10759150]

for a while now i have been getting bad stuttering on games such as rise of the tomb raider and witcher 3, witcher 3 is alot less as it only stutters for once every couple of seconds when i look around the map in a 360 degree motion however games like rise of the tomb raider have been having a real issue playing, i didn`t know what my problem was until my friend suggested i download a program called openhardwarenmonitor log, with this we concluded that my ram was fine,all my temps for my system were golden, however when the stuttering began it was when my system hit 100 percent cpu usage, Here is the graph he made https://imgur.com/a/0qVB1

this is my system
cpu: i5 4590
Gpu: Gtx 1070 8gb
Motherboard: asrock pro4m
Psu: 700w intergrator
Hard drive: Seagate barracuda 3tb
No ssd
Case: Aerocool x3 predator
ram: 2x4 gb sticks of ddr3 hyper x 1600mhz

i really dont know why its doing this and would like some help asap

Try lowering CPU taxing stuff and fixing FPS at 60 or whatever you're comfy with.
here a list of settings you can modify and what it will do:

I had the same problem! I had an I5 4590s with a 980 and i learnt that the CPU GPU bottlenecks the CPU (Or vise Versa) basically meaning the CPU isnt powerful enough to handle the GPU.

I ended up just upgrading my CPU and the issue went away but for the meantime I had to lower the graphics.

Well that is just nonsense...lowering the graphics would make your CPU work even harder or wouldn't change how much it runs (still 100% ) if lowering graphics fixed your problem then your problem was not with the CPU.

yeh lowering the graphics dosent really help for me i still get stuttering xD

Ah thats weird. When i had my 4590s and my 980 the only way i could stop the stuttering was to lower the graphics. Then i got a way more powerful CPU and i never had the problem again. I still think its bottlenecking.

8 GB of RAM is considered marginal for many games today...

Set all graphic details to ultra/max, 16xAA, etc., trying to lower framerates by shifting the burden to the GPU, then the CPU might be able to keep up...

If you set your LAN settings int he game to lower (from LAN to DSL or ISDN), perhaps it will not attempt sending out position updates 200 times per second...

what are lan settings and how would i change them?

Which resolution are you playing the games at ? Your CPU might be bottlenecking because you're in 1080p. Have you tried 1440p ?

If the cpu hits 100% and the gpu is not at 100% it means the cpu is bottlenecking and needs to be upgraded.
Now, you computer is still pretty descent and witcher 3 is a highly demanding game at higher resolution.
Might want to bring details down a bit and upgrade a bit later if prices goes down.
