CPU 100% Usage

Hi! whenever i play Dragon Age Inquisition my CPU jumps up to 100% usage for no apparent reason.


DxDiag:

i have tried:

Create user.cfg

  1. Open Notepad and paste the lines below
  2. Save as user.cfg in the Installation directory which is by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition
RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 0 
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0 
RenderDevice.VsyncEnable 0 
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0 
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0 
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 4
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0 
WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0

Disabling cloud storage

Disabling Origin overlay

Lowering Graphical details

Disabling Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

Updating graphic driver

Repairing the game

i have 3 hard drives C: D: G: Origin is installed on the C: Drive together with Windows, while Dragon Age Inquisition is installed on the G: Drive. i don't suspect that this should have anything to do with it as Mass Effect 3 is installed on the same drive and runs just fine

i do not have any mods installed

any suggestions on what might be causing this and how to get it fixed?

  • Hi, I am no expert but it seems your cpu is bottle-necking. Your hastebin does not list the actual graphics card but I am guessing a R9 280x or R9 290 both of which will bottle-neck a FX 4100. May I suggest asking on Tom's Hardware or Overcloak.net for technical issues, you will get the attention of some real smart technical people who know just about everything about pcs.

  • I also believe the CPU could be a bit of a problem.

    Are you running on Direct3D 11 or Mantle? With a CPU bottleneck, I recommend Mantle.
