i5 6600k OC'd to 4.4ghz @1.315V - H60 cooler
GTX 1070 FTW not OC'd
RM650 650w PSU
(2x8) 16gb DDR4 2400 RAM
500gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD
2560x1080 60hz - High settings - Vsync is ON
First of all, I used to game on Very High settings but my CPU usage goes between 90% to 100% usage almost all the time during gameplay. I can play for about 2 hours but sometimes, it crashes. I get FPS drops especially when there is a lot of going on around. I turned down the settings to high and gameplay was better. Right now, I'm getting ~60fps. But, I am still getting high CPU usage, between low 70% to high 90%. The CPU usage isn't consistent.
The thing is, one of my friends is also playing Wildlands and he has the same CPU 6600k and his GPU is a 980ti. He only gets 50-60% CPU usage and plays High on 4k at about 45FPS. I mean his PC's performance looks better and his CPU usage is really good.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.
I have already downloaded the latest NVidia update and the latest Wildlands patch from Uplay. I've verified the files under Uplay, too. But nothing changes. I also don't have any other apps or programs open during gameplay.
