However, your graphics card is fairly low-end, and will be the limiting factor on your FPS. If you run the game at fairly high settings and get fairly low FPS, then the CPU will sit bored and unable to do its work, thereby showing low utilization. If you then go and adjust your settings for more playable framerates, the CPU suddenly has more work to do. The same can happen if either the game or the video drivers (or both) get optimized. Was the last time you checked during beta? There was a big optimization push before launch that added a couple FPS for everyone.
i see i was expecting as much to hear that, any ideas on a new computer wanna be able to get the best for this game and daily photoshop/web design use and what not.
