Jacks Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I am getting stutters when playing online (but not offline) and msi afterburner shows that my cpu core 4 is hitting 100% at the point of stuttering and running at 90%+ the rest of the time. Is this normal? Is my cpu bottle necking my system? Core 1 runs at 10-15% and the remaining two cores run around 5%. My system specs: I5 3570k @ 3.8GHz msi z77a-gd55 Mobo 8GB 1600hz HyperC Beast RAM ASUS GTX 770 2GB OC'd to 1250Hz I am running the game at high settings with shadows and water low, no heat blur, no HDR, MSAA at 2x, no tree shadows, no TSAA, VSync on and preload radius to max. The cores are unparked. What is the most effective way to reduce cpu usage without diminishing gameplay? I have just bought a cooler master hyper 212 ego and so was planning on installing that tomorrow with the hope of overclocking the cpu to around 4.5GHz. Will this help alleviate the problem?

blkspade Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Generally speaking a game should always be maxing out a single core anyway, unless its very well multithreaded. The stutters are most likely happening due to something happening in the server at any given time. I didn't even have stutters when I was using an AMD FX CPU (except for when something was causing everyone online issues), so its not likely to be your CPU causing it. One area that is common for causing stuttering is disk I/O if DCS if installed on a slow drive. Having DCS on an SSD can be beneficial here.
