When playing OW my CPU usage goes to 100% every time and I feel like it’s bottle necking the performance. I have i5 6400 and feel like it should be adequate to run OW without using all of its power on it. GTX 1070 should be able to push out constant >200 fps on all-low settings and during fights I’m dropping to <100. The game also staggers/freezes every 30-60s or so, which lasts for half a second - enough to mess up my aim or get myself killed.
I’ve completely removed my GPU drivers with DDU and installed new ones, set my windows & Nvidia options to high performance, set OW on high priority in task manager, set physX to be handled always by GPU, optimized Nvidia control panel options and in-game video options etc. I even OC’d my GPU which gave a slight fps boost but did not remove the problem.
I have HWMonitor stats in imgur and DxDiag in pastebin but apparently cannot link them here. The imgur link ends in /a/wq9u3wQ and pastebin in /qsJTXmtE after the domains, respectively.
I know complaining about <100 fps can sound petty, but it’s frustrating when I get <100 on low when other GTX 1070 users get >100 on ultra.
Any help would be appreciated.
