11 years agoCPU 100% PROBLEM
can anyone please help me get rid of this 90%-96% CPU usage with spikes to 100 % and lag the whole game issue? its so annoying specs: WIN 7 64bit Msi gtx 970 intel i5 3570k 16gb ram thanks in...
You should try disabling Origin in-game and see if it helps. I'm mesmerized on how even an i5-4690k can cause bottlenecks in this game and that an i7 is REQUIRED to run this game without bottlenecking.😕mileyindifferent:
i did dude its * unbelieveable
why make any game this cpu heavy is beyond me
This is what I posted in another thread that turned up an issue with a background process....and why I wanted you to run process explorer and watch the real numbers for CPU by DA:I and other processes.
The CPU at 98-100% is what I am a bit concerned about. and it MAY be related to the 20-30% when Idle. The game needs between 60-90% of your CPU to run smoothly, and thus if you have anything taking up from 10-30% CPU power, then the game will lag, run slow and basically be unplayable. So you should have a list of Process on the left of Process explorer, then CPU in next column, then Private bytes, working set, PID, Description and finally Company name.
What you are looking for is anything that is using CPU when running DAI...so click on CPU so it lists programs/processes by descending CPU use..
So if you are running DAI it should basically look like this...
Dragon Age Inquisition... 80.99 whatever memory whatever memory etc etc Bioware/EA
System Idle.... 15.00 0k 0k 0 blank blank------------system idle is just what isn't being used
and on down the list....
The problem will show up if you see something like
System(or really anything other than system Idle) 15.00 etc etc etc
Which would mean you have something with Windows or related components using 15% of your CPU when you are trying to play DAI... If you are getting 2-5% you will probably be ok, but you don't want to see one topping 10% by any means when trying to play...
I have read somewhere that Intel has a page filing process used with SSds that has a habit of doing this...is supposed to be used when drives are used in RAID if I am remembering correctly, and thus can be disabled to free up processor power...can't find the thread on here that mentions the process and how to disable it.
So if you ignore this advice another time, then I will leave you alone because you obviously don't want my help, and I am wasting both our times.
mcsupersport sorry for the slow answer , i used the software you suggested (great software)
and it was like this
Dragon Age Inquisition taking up to 65~90%
with system idle 10~15%
is that normal? , rest were 0.1
