Title: Heavy CPU load.
Post by: Jokovich on January 29, 2021, 05:03:22 am
Hello everyone. This is my first post here.
Recently bought Lenovo L340-15IRH Gaming (i5-9300hf, gtx1650 4gb, 16gb ram, 2tb HDD, Windows 10). I installed all the newest drivers, downloaded a couple of games, everything runs stably at high settings of 60 fps without any friezes routerlogin (https://routerlogin.pro). But I downloaded Assassin's creed origins and there even at the same average 60-70 fps, but the processor is 95-100% loaded in cities, which causes 5-second freezes. The average temperature is 70-75 degrees. What could be the problem? I watched the tests in this game on the same laptop, where the processor is loaded with a maximum of 90%.
Thank.

Not sure why you are asking something like that here. No idea if you are CPU bound on a game like that running on a laptop CPU. If not it is some kind of software bug, Google search  Assassin's creed origins 100% cpu usage. Try lowering the graphics settings.

Also something of note is 100% cpu usage doesn't always mean 100% cpu usage confusingly enough.   Let's say I program a app or a game with a really tight loop.... it'll use every cpu cycle available without throttling in place.   Here's the thing though, windows prioritizes cpu cycles, so if another app needs some it'll allocate accordingly.  It'll still show 100% in task manager, but all the running apps are getting what they need so who cares.  Unless something is compiling or rendering, an app will rarely use 100% cpu cycles..... it's almost always due to bad coding or something running in the background like windows update, ect.

Sounds like a game issue - many reports of CPU bottlenecking on high end systems.  Play it on a console.  ;D
