I am at studying at university of Calgary taking Engineering. don't really have much time for gaming anymore but I enjoy RTS and FPS. Fan of the Battlefield franchise and Starcraft.
This is how much % of the total power each thing uses and how much memory i am using. Using this information I determined that CPU is not being maxed out and I should not put it on turbo so it can run cooler. I also determined that the GPU is being maxed out and is causing the slow down (which is expected for any computer game). Furthermore, I don't need to upgrade my ram because it is far from being put to the limit. AND WHY THE EFF I AM DOING SCHOOLISH WORK IN THE SUMMER!!
You manually made those graphs! Now that's what I call dedication. The GPU numbers are interesting, what are the graphics settings?
For the first part it was:
Detail: high
textures: high
Effects: medium
Shadows: medium
AA: 1x
anisotropic: 1x
1920 by 1080
at the part that it dips down I tried for fun what it would be like on lowest possible:
Detail: low
textures: low
Effects: low
Shadows: low
AA: 1x
anisotropic: 1x
1200 by 780ish
And the last part was at
Detail: high
textures: high
Effects: high
Shadows: high
AA: 1x
anisotropic: 1x
1920 by 1080
Cool. Those effects and shadows do add a fair bit of extra load...
