100% GPU load in LotRO

['Wes]

Hi there,

I decided to go on LotRO last night after not playing it for a good couple of months since TOR came out, and the moment i went ingame, my FPS was sitting between 20-25 FPS, now, i have a 7970 and it can play Metro 2033, Battlefield: 3 on max settings and my 5870 before that managed LotRO fine on max detail, so alarm bells started ringing.

I did some searching through the settings, and it appears when i go above 2xAA in LotRO [max is 8xAA] my 7970 starts to go up to 100% usage, but my 5870 managed 8xAA just fine.

I'm going to put my 5870 back into my system to see if the problem is my 7970, but i thought i'd start a new thread and see if anyone can come up with any other reasons as to why this occuring.

Edit: If any of you saw my thread in the CPU section of the forum, that's all sorted now, i can play those games i specified fine now.

My 6850 has no problems on maxed settings and I usually see 50-80fps. MSI shows it at about 80% usage most of the time, although it has gone to 100% on occasions. I assume your drivers are all up to date.

Yep, all up to date. My 5870 managed it all on max at 60 FPS as i keep V-Sync on.

How about disabling AA in LotRO and forcing it in CCC? See if that makes a difference? Obviously not an ideal fix bu tI can't see why the newer card would have issues with the game.

Found out the problem, for some reason i had to apply a profile for that game in CCC instead of just using default values for all my games.
