CS:GO 100% CPU usage!

[Tommy296]

Hi,

I downloaded CS:GO about two days ago and I'm noticing that it uses my CPU so much.

 

These are my specs:

- Intel Core i5-6600

- 16 GB ram

- Gigabyte GTX 1050 Windforce OC

- SanDisk SSD 240 GB

- WD Blue 1TB (where the game is installed)

 

Playing I reach 50°C on the CPU which is liquid cooled by a Masterliquid 120 and around 60°C on the GPU.

 

I tried to look in the task manager, and I noticed that is CS:GO that uses so much CPU and there aren't other background processes that drain.

Setting the antivirus (Bitdefender) in game mode the fps icreased from 150 to around 200-250 but they aren't so stable.

 

I don't know what to do...

 

I wonder if it's a cpu problem because even when I export files from lightroom the CPU reach 100% of usage

Um. No its not

 

Its performing exactly how you would expect it to perform

That's because Counter-Strike: Global Offensive uses the Valve Source engine which is notoriously CPU-intensive.

 

It's normal for a Source game like CSGO or Team Fortress 2 to be using that much CPU.

This is what happens when you use a 15 year old engine game or is it 10 lol.  It is really ugly and as above stated it really doesn't give a sh*T what amazing GPU you have.  Driving those frame rates puts the hones on the CPU and what not.
