I have an i5-3570k stock speed and stock cooler, a EVGA GTX-760 SC with the ACX cooler stock speed, 8 GM ram, ASRock Z77 extreme 5 motherboard, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. OS and graphics driver fully up to date.
When playing Borderlands2 on max settings, I generally average around 50-60 fps, but during certain times, I get brief stuttering and see 20-25 fps. The scenario is high action scenes such as fights where there are multiple explosions and characters. The game is from Steam, with the Steam application running off my SSD and the actual game files running off a WD Black 1TB drive.
Is this a bottleneck related to game files loading, or CPU, or some other factor? Having task manager up on a separate window is showing memory usage max around 3.3 GB and a single CPU seeing the most load around 85% (other 3 cores stay around 30%). I had planned to overclock the CPU eventually when it became necessary, and want to know if this is that time.
Thanks.
