CPU usage analysis - crysis + 5870

[straxusii]

I was interested to see how much of my [email protected] was actually being used whilst running crysis at very high settings with the 5870.

I was surprised to see it was quite high, so anything less than a quad will hold crysis back.

This was 1 demo loop at 1920x1080, very high, no aa, gpu bench, dx10 64 bit

I also tested with the crysis cpu benchmark and got pretty much the same results.

All of the above is just doing the benchmarks so no extra in game load like AI.
