I'm not taking like insanely high cpu usage like 80% and stuff im talking like 30-50%
On games like CSGO, Rainbow Six Siege and Mafia 3/2 and a lot of other games I'm getting cpu usage ranging from 25% up to 60% for some reason when my cpu is better than the recommended specs (Intel core i7 6700K @ 4.2 GHz) now i haven't played CSGO in a while now but last time i played im pretty sure I didn't get usage this high. on Siege I understand the CPU usage cos of the all physics and destructible shit and on mafia 2 a game that came out in 2011 i really dont understand why im getting usage so high is it maybe because i have the PhysX settings on high? these games r just an example i get high cpu usage on other games aswell would updating drivers help? and which drivers?
All games are set to max settings btw and if you need any other information about my pc just ask and i'll provide. Sorry for the horribly rushed post I didn't have much time.

Higher cpu usage is a good thing. This means the games are using the system.

It is when games run like crap and have low usage that it is an issue.

If you have HT enabled, the usage will look lower since you have more cores(not actual cores, but they will show as cores in Windows).

Unless you are having issues, I would not worry about it.
