Re: CPU load 95 - 100%

I have big issues getting good fps in NFS Heat because of the insane high CPU usage. System requirements says a Core i7-4790 is recommended which i have but the game uses up to 90% CPU sometimes so i´m stuck at 40fps. Changing graphic settings does nothing at all. So what is going on ? Is EA mining Bitcoins when running Heat ? :D Pls fix asap 🙂

Btw: I checked the CPU usage in NFS 2015 and Payback booth games only use around 45% CPU for me. I also have no issues running other games that use the Frostbite engine.

The screenshot is with activated vsync. If i turn it off i get 95-100% Cpu usage.
