High usage at 80%+ during division tasks, GTA V and similar games.
Hello, I'm facing a challenge. I recently bought an i7 6700k, g.skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR4 RAM, and an Asus Pro Gaming motherboard. Before that, I used FX 8320, with an R9 390X GPU and a 620W PSU. I expected better performance but only saw small gains. While playing those games, my CPU usage was high while my GPU stayed under 90%. I noticed others in videos had near 100% GPU usage with minimal CPU load. I tried adjusting settings like priority and affinity, but nothing changed. I updated all drivers except the OS, but haven't reinstalled it yet. Is this hardware issue or is the software not working well? The only game with perfect GPU usage is ME: Shadow of Mordor, which runs perfectly.
I'm checking the frame rates you're seeing. They should align with the reviews for the R9 390X at your current settings and resolution.
Your current configuration affects how many frames the CPU processes, leading to increased load and potential performance strain. Higher settings reduce preparation time but consume more resources, resulting in lower FPS.
