Okay, I quite recently became interested in computer hardware, and I have learned a lot over the past few days, however there is one thing about my system that i don't understand.
When i play starcraft 2 on low graphics i get around 150 fps, however when i load up windows task manager and MSI Afterburner the graphs seems a little odd to me. While playing the CPU is utilizing about 30-40% while the GPU is using around 30%.
My question is, why isn't my CPU\GPU using 100% (or at least one of them) in order to give me as much FPS as possible?
Is there any way i can force them to give me as much FPS as possible?
My specs are:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition @3,5ghz, overclocked to 4.0 ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H, Socket-AM3
PSU: Chieftec Nitro Series BPS-750C 750W PSU
Monitor: BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL
GPU: BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL
Ram: Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 8GB KIT, CL9
Please help me understand.
