So for a while now when ive been playing BF4 i noticed my game kinda hitches just a small bit. I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on, So recently i tried looking in the task manager to see what was going on in there after closing BF4 when i saw chrome using 20%-40% of my cpu and that usage never went away!. I guess chrome is just a resource hog. Anyway does anyone have a fix for this or is there another browser like firefox ECT.... thats better in that regard? or should i just close chrome after launching the game?

Just close chrome before you game.  BTW are using adobe flash in browser?

Chrome shouldnt have any CPU usage. At least not more than a few %.

Switch to a browser that doesn't hog resources, personally I use Comodo dragon which is a chromium based browser but it's just more secure and less demanding. On my laptop (CPU: AMD A4-5000) it only uses ~5-9% with 9 tabs open and about 4 or 5 extensions as well.

Which CPU, mate?

 

And yeah: Chrome is a pretty significant resource hogger. But I'm really surprised its using that much of your CPU. It should only be using, like, 1-3%.

 

I wonder if switching to browser Software Rendering (as opposed to the default Hardware Rendering setting) would make any difference.

 

Either way, your best bet is to just shut Chrome down whenever you play.
