Cpu usage at 99% while running 4 instances Borderlands presequel for splitscreen. Is it advisable?

I don't think you need to worry about the CPU/GPU load percentage. They're designed to be able to run to their full capacity. Just watch your temperatures, as long as they're safe I wouldn't worry about it. Your CPU probably hits 99% far more often than you think, not just when doing this.

 

Also, wtf, four instances of Borderlands on one machine? Well, if you can do it, have at it. What is performance like?  :huh:

Right so guys sorry for the long title but it says it all. I tried running 4 instances of Borderlands PreSequel for some splitscreen gameplay on my PC.

Using Splitscreen PC Tool. Download link: http://splitplaypc.codeplex.com/

I played a lot of 2 players splitscreen with my friend with no issues.

When 4 instances are running, the Cpu usage stays at 98-100% at ~44C temp.

Ram usage stays at aroun 6.2gb, with Gpu running as normal (1gb Vram usage, nothing abnormal of note).

 

The cpu is running at its stock 3.6-3.9Ghz speed, with no overclocks, cooled by a corsair H80.

Temps looks ok, but not sure about that cpu usage.

While the games are opening, i get an audio stutter/loop (which i found out is related to the cpu usage spike), but after they all open up I dont get it.

 

System Specs:

CPU: i7 3820
Ram: 16gb

GPU: GTX 780ti

Mobo: Asus sabertooth x79

PSU: Corsair rm750

Those r the essentials i guess

 

Is it advisable to run the 4 instances under such load?

Temps are all that matter. The CPU has measures set in that, if anything bad happens, you'll know.
