So I was just testing out my CPU and GPU usages in Watch Dogs, in which I maxed out the settings and just played around for a while whilst monitoring them.
I get between 30 and 45 FPS whilst driving around the city with my 7970. However I noticed that during this I was only getting about 75% GPU usage.
But then if I looked straight down at the ground, bumping my FPS up to around 70, my GPU usage would then go up to 100%.
Surely I should be getting 100% usage whilst driving around and getting 30fps, no? Why wouldn't my GPU be working as hard when it has more work to do?
During all this my CPU usage on all cores hovered at about 70%, so that wouldn't be interfering with anything.. And I have 8GB RAM so that should be plenty..
