Hello
I'm having trouble with a game called Space Engineers. In the game if I'm in a large world my CPU and GPU usage are both between 80-90% and stay relatively close to one another (which from what i've read is a really good thing because that means that your computer is getting full use of all its resources). But the game gets really laggy, and fps drops to the lower teens. I've tried lowering the graphics settings, and even at the lowest setting I still have the same issue. This is the only game in which I've had this problem. I am just wondering if there is anything I can do about it, and if its a hardware issue which should I upgrade the GPU, or CPU?
Specs are:
windows 8.1 64 bit
AMD A8-6600K APU (I know I didn't call it an APU above, but I'm not using it as an APU, and yes I know that is considered a taboo to use it with a dedicated card)
F2A78M-D3H MOBO
GTX 750 TI GPU
16GB 2400MHZ CORSAIR RAM (I had to OC my ram to get the full use of the 2400mhz)
