CPU usage shoots up to 90-98% sometimes while playing

[Hav3nsblade]

So sometimes my CPU usage would shoot from low 60s (60-64) to like 98% and my frames in-game would be absolutely very low for roughly 10 seconds to 30. I have a GTX 660TI with drivers 331.40 and an i5-3570. Isn't an overheating problem because my GPU during load is only at about 65c and CPU is at 46-49c each core during load.

Specs:
CPU: i5-3570 (not OC'd)
GPU: EVGA GTX 660TI (331.40)
RAM: 8gb RAM
HDD: 1TB HDD (Seagate Barracuda)

I have an i5 3570k and haven't experienced any slowdown, except when Norton starts doing stuff while I'm playing. Even then it's only brief lasting about 2 seconds. See if your antivirus is messing with performance. I haven't messed with occlusion culling but I think you can get to it via sys. tools.

occlusion culling is a setting in the games graphics settings......
