Hi,

I recently made a topic for a new gpu, since i have serious fps drops during cod bo3.
While playing i noticed that my cpu ran at 100% during a game!
So now i'm scared that i might be missing something important?

My setup is: (lmk if i missed something)

Mobo: P8P67 pro
CPU: Intel i5 2500k (it has a big cooler on it but i forgot what the name is)
Ram: Corsair vengeance 2x4gb
GPU: EVGA GTX580
Power supply: corsair 950watt
SSD 500Gb
Windows 7 64bit
Monitor Dell Ultrasharp U2410


Someone allready advised that the best bang for buck was the RX480. (*edit)
And i will also be looking to upgrade my monitor for a 144hz monitor.

check temps?

Could be a CPU bottleneck; Upping the settings/res (will stress GPU more) and or even overclocking a fair bit should help.

Checking temps is the first thing I would do ofc.

Rx 480 is for sure best value, unless you decide to buy used.

cpu bottlenecked with that gpu not?

unless your saying gpu is at 100% too

What else is open in the background. Also any other games it gets pegged at 100% on?

Old hardware, possibly stock 2500k, very possible. Lots of information is missing to determine actual cause.

Last time it happened the cpu was 50°-55°

Edit:
I did the boost thing when i first got the pc, i dont know how to overclock or anything like that.
Edit 3: Dont know how to chech the gpu load?

Edit 2:
I dont really play much other games at the moment, and if i do i just turn down the setting.
Its just really noticeable in this game since it drops from 40-45 to 10ish

This temps won't mean much if it's pegged out on other games

i don't know how else to check it.
this is a pic taken when the game is open in the background.

another one;

We need come curves to see the peak load and temperature.
