50% usage 7970

[rabc1690]

just started crysis 3 and ive noticed that i can only get between 50-60% usage the majority of the time with fps at 25-30 on medium settings. anyone have an idea what may be causing this???

the fx 8350 both cpu, gpu oc slightly, but get same results whether both stock or both oc

CPU bottleneck surely, go with higher gpu settings, you might not get extra fps but it'll look nicer. overclock your cpu (as much as possible)

every other game runs perfect tho steady 60fps and really be strugglin to go over 5ghz on cpu

Are you using the latest 13.2 BETA drivers?

yes

Check your background tasks.

there no more going on in background than any other games which can be ran on max settings with 60 fps just this one game
