Bamboozled at this...

After discussing a possible CPU bottleneck in my last thread i simply bumped resolution up a notch... that however DID NOT solve the issue at hand. That being games STILL peg the CPU @ 100% usage.

Link to old thread:

See.

I really don't see why one day the CPU usage would be fine and then the next it would be a bottleneck. That for me makes absolutely zero sense. Why would the games one week and all the other times before that be running at 40-50% usage and the next week be running at maxed usages constantly regardless of what's happening in game and regardless of the res bump? Zero other variables have changed in that time frame. I didn't change the setup, i didn't alter any windows settings and i didn't even update windows, nor is the system infected in anyway with any sort of malware. People with the same CPU get the same usage i did before, and yet i'm constantly maxed out? What gives?

Links to posts exhibiting the same behaviour THIS WEEK. I have noticed two things which are relevant here, all of these posts are with GTX 1060 6gb's and all of these are also using i5's, whether a generation or two behind or current gen.

Are you beginning to see a pattern here?
