So I recently built a Ryzen 7 1700X + Vega 64 system. Stupidly I can't get off Fortnite which is making the whole thing a borderline waste 
Anyways The Witcher 3 really appeals to me, as I like those kind of fantasy open-world RPGs, but figured it best to play 1 & 2 first with them being dirt cheap on GOG
Well only about 45mins or so into the original, and at first I noticed on afterburner the CPU has been sitting solidly at 100% usage, and GPU only around 50%, whilst getting an average of around 250+fps
I mean is this normal for a CPU released in only March '17?
I get the game only makes use of a single core, but surely the CPU's almost a decade old would have had no chance of running it if this is max'd out at 100%?
After playing the 45min-1hour session, the game then crashed to desktop.
Temps were fine, CPU always between 50-60 degrees, GPU 50ish
Just wanted any thoughts, as it's kinda got me thinking if 2 & 3 will have similar/worse issues?
I feel like it must be something to do with the way I've config'd it all
