Re: CTD , High CPU Usage , loads of problems !

I've noticed that the FPS during loading screens goes up in the 200+ range, perhaps it causes peoples systems to overheat and throttledown when it happens.

  • No overheating problems for me , I have MSI AB running on background constantly monitoring my GPU Temp , Usage etc.
    I even used CoreTemp to monitor my CPU Temp , all good here. 
    The stuttering I mentioned was actually only after Loading or Fast Travel and very last when exiting to Title Screen or Main Menu, since at those moments , my CPU Usage bumps up to 100% max, FPS drop tremendously, and after few seconds It will all settle down and back to normal. 

    In game FPS drop can't be help , since the game is so taxing. Also I think the VSYNC in this game isn't so " FPS friendly " compared to some I've experience. 
    Just a hunch , I play many games with VSYNC ON , usually wont have terrible FPS drop but there are some which has this problem. 
    How I know ? I test the game with and without VSYNC , so I know even on certain game like FC3 , I can play very smoothly with Max settings no terrible FPS drop , when VSYNC is ON , I tend to have noticable FPS drop. 

    In other case like Bioshock Infinite, both with and without VSYNC the game ran smoothly. 
    Same goes for COD Advanced Warfare , with VSYNC the FPS drops is horrible ! Im pushing out over 100 + FPS without VSYNC,  so I have to suffer the ugly screen tearing to avoid FPS drop =(
