CPU usage on 1080p

[Akamii]

Well guys, many ppl here advised me to get 1080p monitor instead of 768p because i was getting 88~98% cpu usage while playing GTA V and around 70~80% gpu usage
So i bought 24inch 1080p monitor, and just tried to play GTA V on 1080p res, and guess what? the cpu usage stay still beyond 90% up to 97%...
im really confused now idk what should i do.. you guys said it will be decreased but its the same.. so maybe this is GTA V problem? or my cpu has a problem?

because if it goes like that then this i5 bottlenecking the r9 285 ?!

 

cpu: i5 4440

gpu: r9 285

ram: 8gb

 

thanks

No problem. It is normal. My i7 3770k pulls 100% consistant on gta v 1200p.

As long as your temperatures are fine you are good. You would rather it be 80-100% then 20-30% ysage.

even if it bottleneck my gpu? my gpu usage is between 100% and 70%, the fps between 60fps and 42fps ..

If you really want less CPU usage you'd have to buy a slower GPU and CREATE a bottleneck. If your CPU and GPU are both near 100%, no bottlenecks.

CPU usage is mostly irrelevant for gaming, so long as it's not pinned to 100% across the board it should be fine...and also screen resolution DOES NOT affect your CPU load (dunno who told you that but it's wrong)...it still has to process the same game code for the game engine...increasing resolution make your GPU work harder though and you get better image quality in return.

i think they meant it will be less because the fps will be less, then the cpu wont work hard to render 100fps instead of 50fps or 60

i see, well that depend entirely on the game engine and how the graphics and physics are processed but most of the time from my experience the CPU load is mostly consistent at the same settings regarless of framerate and screen resolutions...GPU is doing the rendering so it has to deal with more pixels to account for, but the CPU calculation tasks for the physics, Ai etc. those things remains the same regardless of how well the ''rendering'' part of the job is being done.

 

in short, your CPU does not care much about what your graphical output is, it run the code of the game regarldess.

increasing graphical fidelity and draw distances for example can put aditional load on your CPU, but for the same settings the load on the CPU should remain pretty much the same regardless of framerates and screen resolution.
