Hello,
Yesterday I bought Witcher 3 (Steam).
I have an old i7-3930k running at 4,3Ghz and an HD7870 which will be upgraded to a Vega 56 the next days. There are also 48GB of RAM, Win10 and a Xbox360 Gamepad.
I know my system is old but I would have expected that it is the graphics card which will limit the FPS, so I thought I will upgrade my system one last time with a Vega 56.
To my surprise I only get 24-27fps in the game (HD7870), even with low graphics. It doesn't matter if the resolution is 1280x720 or 2560x1440. The only thing that changes is the load of the graphic cards (30-80%) but it never reaches 100%.
CPU load is at about 20%, BUT there is ONE core always running at 80-100%!
What could be the problem? I have seen this game even running on slower CPUs.
Thank you very much!
