Hey guys I just recently started playing BF3 again after a long break, and I was looking at my CPU usage and was wondering if its too high or not or just about right. I've got an i5 2500k at 3.3 (3.7 turbo) with a gtx 580 and the CPU usage varies from 65-78% and sometimes will jump to high 80s / low 90s for a second or two, and back to within the range again. Is it anything to be concerned about? I always read about bottleneck and things of that sort. I've read a few people say they have an i5 2500k OC''d to 4.5 or so and get 50-70% CPU usage. Would there's be lower because of the faster clock speed? Thanks guys.
*Update* The CPU usage was tested with Vsync turned off so I was getting FPS of 80-140 depending on situation. If I turn on Vsync and get 60 fps, my CPU usage range drops to 50-70. I usually play with Vsync off for better performance so should I just assume that everything is right where it should be?
My reason for concern was because my first game I played today after not playing for a long time, showed 98-100% for an entire match. All games after that have been 65-80% roughly. Could that one particular server perhaps caused high usage? I'm not really sure...
