So, when i play watchdogs 2 my CPU is maxed all the way to 100% its an i5 6600k.

but when i look at task manager the game is only taking up about 80% and the rest only adds up to about 5%

Why is it showing 100% and bottlenecking my game. I didnt buy a pc to do this!

even when i put the settings on the lowest it still bottlenecks :(

any way to fix this?

MY RIG

I5 6600k

16gb Corsair vengeance 2666mhz

MSI Gaming X 1070

WD blue 2tb

samsung 850 evo 250gb

EVGA supernova G2 650w

For Watch_dogs 2? If you don't get a 5820K/6800K (at least), expect your CPU to be maxed out all the time.

Idk, but Watch_Dogs 2 can definitely max out an i7, let alone an i5.

It was pinned at 100. But never experienced stutters or frame drops.
