    Very high GPU Usage / High temps

    I run i5 3570 @ 4.5ghz / R9 280X, latest beta drivers.

    Before anyone will say anything, how its good, when game utilizes GPU and should be this way - I always limit FPS to 60 with MSI Afterburner and running BF4 pretty much maxed minus HBAO, where GPU temp never hits 65C

    This game is not all that good looking, but even setting everything to Med - High and disabling HBAO, keeps GPU usage at 80 - 90% even when looking at the ground and temps go up to 75C, which is rediculous, I have super cool PC case. My FPS always stay at 60 - 58 constant.

    Hopefully devs looking at these forums.

    lol.

    Not ubisofts fault. Ur using 90% of ur GPU ofc its gonna get HOT. Compare ur GPU usage on far cry 4 and bf 4. I think far cry 4 needs more GPU power to stay at 60 than BF 4.

    BF4 looks way better, than maxed FC4, managing keep gpu usage and temps in check, that tells me its a poor programming / optimization on developer's side.

    Plus FC3 runs fine without GPU freaking out maxed, go figure.

    Oh I think it is your weird drivers. Textures look fine on my PC. You just don't know what you're doing.

    I am expert and you are a child throwing a tantrum. Like putting Ferrari in truck chassis.. feeding an Arabian thoroughbred porridge and jaffa cakes is going to cause problems.
    Weird driver controller mouse files mone is ok..
