Hey all,

Not really sure if this is the right thread but here goes!

So I got a whole new build over xmas. i5 2500k @ 3.8ghz, asus 560ti, 8gb of ram.

I was just wondering if a constant 50/60% and 95 spike cpu usage is normal when playing SWTOR on high @ 1920 x 1080? I have indeed googled but only really find problems with 100% usage.

Am I being paranoid or is that fine while gaming?
 
You probably have other background programs running which may be doing updates ect, I personally would not worry unless you start getting issues.
 
processor usage is far from constant and bounces around all the time, have never ever ever seen a processor under a 'constant' load, there is always variation. my processor usage not only bounces around % wise, it also bounces between cores but that is a problem with specific processor, don't worry about it, just relax and have fun! :)
