dying light low GPU usage.

[Salman Soomro]

i have
c2q q9300 @3ghz
hd 5850 @915 mhz
asus p5q motherboard
the GPU usage doesnt go above 65% and this gets me really low FPS inthe game usually between 25 to 30 fps... the CPU is not bottlenecking as it's at 65 to 75 % at all cores in OSD msi Afterburner. is there a custom fix for it or just a plain game problem or the rig being too old.
the games version is 1.5 (i think)

Dying Light is poorly optimised especially for AMD Graphics.

Not much you can do, performance is always going to be poor in that game.

Not even my R9 290 runs well with it.

What is your CPU usage?

What is your CPU usage?

65-75%, It's in OP's post.

 

[Salman Soomro]

almost 90 % sometimes but mostly all the cores stay 65 to 75 %

 

[Salman Soomro]

if we can assume that CPU is the bottle neck than is there a way to get the game to use 100% or atleast >90% of the CPU. i am using cpu control to get all the cores to work.. otherwise the game only uses CPU2 100% and the other cores 20 to 40 %

The game is quite awesome and i dont want the it to go to waste...

There are some tweaks that can help your performance:

waow.. i just desperately tried all of the settings and a combination of nil view distance and full field of view reduced the stuttering by a big margin now i only get occasional stutters(those hang the screen for almost 5 to 10 seconds) but these occur rarely and other than those game runs at 30 above 50fps and the GPU is still at 60 to 80%
