CPU Usage at 100%- GPU usage at 50%. HELP ME!
Hello so I've bought this game for full retail price, and I was certain that my PC can run this no problems at all. After I downloaded and everything, on 64 man servers I'm getting really really rea...

This means it should not come as a surprise that your CPU is holding back your GPU. 50% still sound a bit on the low side so perhaps you could try closing down background applications tuning your graphics settings to be more GPU heavy and less CPU heavy.
Wrong, I see people with worse CPU and getting better FPS.
Irrelevant. You can always find people with worse PC's getting more FPS than you and people with better PC's getting worse FPS than you - this doesn't really say much about anything.
In any case, what settings are you running?
Try reading http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/READ-FIRST-How-To-Get-A-Response-To-Your-Technical-Issue/m-p/5636970#M1008 and add the dxdiag and other relevant information to this thread.
Try to lock your framerate in video settings of the game
It can help you to reduce your CPU usage, try to set 60 fps first and check the usage.
I would cap to 120 or even 60, but most of the time on 64 player servers, I don't even hit 60 constantly, and I tried everything.
It just makes the screen tearing worse.
Here is my Dxdiag
Any settings I run, I hit 20-65 fps
Hello @Garem0,
Have you tried making sure that DX11 is enabled?
Also, try running your Video Settings on Medium-High, depending on your current PC build.
There are also other settings you can tamper with in the Video settings that my clear up this issue you are having.
