CPU bottleneck?

[wilkoaid]

Hi all,

 

Thanks again for the great guide.  

 

Just played through the game a bit after doing a complete install of F&LNV and discovered that the framerate does drop sometimes.  I have checked my CPU usage and when the framerate goes down it's at almost 100%.  In fact, the first core of my CPU is nearly always 80-100% usage.  I have also checked my GPU load and that never exceeds about 40% with 1.5-2GB used VRAM out of the 3GB available.

I have an i5-3570K overclocked to 4.1GHz so I didn't think it would be struggling.  

I did try disabling ENBoost but it still seems to be slow.

Are there any tips you have?  Or which mods could I disable to have the most impact on CPU performance.

 

Thanks in advance

Its mostly the limitations of dx9 games and some really bad engine building by Bethesda. You can go with a full ENB to enable some of the graphics that will utilize the gpu much more, but the CPU will still be maxed out.
