When I run Mw2 I get 100% CPU usage, is this just me or is everybody having this. My GPU usage is on at about 35%, this doesn't happen in MW3 or other games apart from BF3 because my CPU isn't good enough for that lol

 

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ 3.2GHz

GPU: Nvidia GTX 260 (Slightly under-clocked because of heat issues)

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

 

 

Edit: I just loaded into the game again and it seems to have gone, my CPU is now at 80-90% and my GPU is now 65-90%

 

Does anybody have any ideas why it was happening?

Good luck using CPU from 2006.

 

AFAIK the intel q6600 i have, was also released 2006 or early 2007.

 

Runs the game without any problems. Well, it has 4 cores and i tweaked the shit out of it...

4x 3,7Ghz instead of 4x2,4. :mrgreen:

So its not really comparable. But still the game is definetly playable with an "old" cpu.

Good luck using CPU from 2006.

It came out in 2007 btw and the recommended requirement is an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ which is 2.2 GHz.

I got the same processor as you. may help if you close some programs? or run game booster?

your CPU is shit

I could play this on my old laptop (lowest settings though), I think I bought that laptop somewhere around 2004 or 2005. Needed to mod my gfx card with a program but it was enough to run it. So I suggest doing what yolarrydabomb said, run a game boosting program and close all other programs you do not need.

Replace your cooling pasta or replace your CPU cooler. If you are using the stock cooler from AMD, just replace it; it's shit.

The solution might be closing other programs!

 

(OFF: my 64 X2 4200+ can even handle most games so don't tell me 6400+ sucks )
