Was just wondering if it's common for Witcher 3 to see CPU usage spikes. For instance, I'm at the beginning and there's a specific part of the town you start in with Vesemir (hunting a Griffin) that brings the CPU usage up really high, hitting 100% on all cores in said area. Now this is a spike, mind you, because if I simply ride through the town (on horse) it'll show the CPU usage go from around 44% to 85% to 95% then 100% and back down to 44% in a span of 3-5 seconds.
Otherwise my CPU usage goes anywhere between 30-60% percent with temperatures floating anywhere from 42-67 degrees.
And yes, I've heard that Witcher 3 is a CPU-heavy game, but I'm just wondering if numbers like this are to be expected.
Here's my build:
i5-7600k (OC'd to 4.5GHz)
Cryorig H7
1060 6GB (OC'd to about 1900MHz core clock)
16 GB RAM 2400
Settings are close to maxed out, with Hairworks being one of the only settings (if not then the only one) not on/maxed. Framerate while riding around is anywhere from 60-79 FPS.
