Re: cpu usage over 90% i5 4670k

you don't have HT on your processor.

It seems to be both game wich is not optimised for now (it is clear when u see frame time variance disturbance and compare it to optimised game like quake live) and microsoft software which doesn't deliver the result it should, even in their own directx api.

here is quake live frame time varience (notice how smooth it is)

and here is bf4 on my pc

Try to find if there is some software starting at boot time that is causing an issue. Do a clean boot and see what happens: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

that doesn't help.
It seems that more or less everyone has those high CPU usage issue, those who got top tier cpu don't mind too much, cus it doesn't affect them too much, but those with weaker cannot achieve decent fpses even with 700$ GPU and 300$ CPU which is kinda weird.

i think the game isnt optimised, dice have released an incomplete game. i think my pc is more than enough to run bf4 in ultra without frame drop.
