Mafia III 100% CPU? ! ? !

[Nolsk9]

This is my build:

AMD Sapphire R9 390X
Intel i5 4690k @ 3.5ghz
8gb Corsair Vengeance RAM
Corsair VS650 PSU

I'll not bother listing my motherboard and all that, as it's irrelevant.

I recently bought mafia III, and upon checking my CPU usage whilst playing, I noticed it's constantly at 100%. This is an issue, because i'm getting pretty low FPS in game, I get about 70 whilst in a mission, or more sparse area but it drops to around 25 whenever i'm in the thick of the city.

Is anyone else getting such bad FPS, or is it my CPU bottlenecking or something? I updated my graphics drivers and everything, nothing seems to have increased FPS. I'm also running the game on the lowest available settings.

Fps counter is off. It's a food game, ruined by stuttering etc. I can manage the odd drop happens in all games, but too many dips into 30's which I don't think any amount of hardware can solve. Sad. I'll pick it up again after a few patches. Seems enjoyable gameplay wise.
