I am playing Rainbow Six: Siege multiplayer with Uplay and Steam running in the background. My processor is Intel i3-3220. It keeps hitting 100% while I am playing the game due to which I am getting low FPS and FPS drops frequently. It might also be bottlenecking my GTX 970 due to this. Plz help!

That's a weak CPU anyways, so you should be expecting lag spikes. RB6S is an intense game. You need a good processor in order to play the game properly. You could also lower the graphics settings to low or medium to help increase the low FPS. Also, FPS is affected by the GPU as well. The 970 is decent, but again not good enough for RB6S. You're either gonna have to stop playing RB6S and play a less intense game or get a better CPU/GPU...

The only processes that use the CPU while I play are, Kaspersky AV, Steam, Uplay, R6s.exe, Nvidia share, Battleye launcher. The game itself is using about 80-95% (why?) All other processes show 0% cpu usage, do I NEED to close them?

Preferably both if you want good smooth gameplay (an i5-6400 should do the trick along with a 1050Ti/RX 480)

Hope this helps! :)
