I bet your A8 is at or near 100% while the card is lower.

APUs are not as powerful as CPUs. For instance, you won't get the same performance from that 480 using a quad core APU as you would a similar spec CPU. Some games, CPU intensive games like BF1, will struggle a bit on that APU. One thing you could do is experiment to find which settings put more of a load on the CPU and keep...

The other settings that use the card can be raised.
