Crysis i7-920 evga gtx 1060 superclocked

[george_gb]

I decided to play Crysis once more with my evga gtx 1060 superclocked (I played it first time with a gtx 295)

My rig is:

CPU: i7 920 overclocked 3.6
GPU: evga gtx 1060 superclocked
RAM: 12 gb



It plays well but there are frequent frame rate drops which make no sense in my opinion since afterburner shows that there is plenty of processing power available (have a look at the attached images).

I play at 1920x1200. I have the issues with either very high setting or with some settings (eg shades) at high and the rest at very high. I use the latest drivers.

Is it a software/development issue or am I missing something?

What resolution/settings are you playing at? Are the GPU drivers up to date?

Thanks for your reply. Updated my description:

But this main thing is that I have lot of power left unused?

What version of Windows do you have? I wonder if it's a possible issue with Windows 10 as I've had some utilization issues with some older games on the newer OS. Nvidia DSR (turned on via Nvidia Control Panel) would be able to run it at a higher res forcing the GPU to be utilized a bit more.

I have Win10. Thanks for the DSR suggestion. I will try asap. Does it help running it in Win7/8 mode?

It may, I haven't played too many older games recently as I'm trying to play through the Witcher 3 which is like a second job as well as playing WoWs and BnS which takes a bit of my time as well. My biggest issue is getting 21:9 to run on older games but the utilization is still kind of low, figured it's just due to Win10 and the hardware being a bit OP 😛 . I'm at work now but when I get a chance I'll download some older games like Portal & Jade Empire and let you know the usages.
