Lo

Okay its not a exactly a problem, but whilst doing a Ctrl+alt+del, i looked at the processes and noticed guild wars is ALWAYS at 100% cpu usage.

As far as im aware this is not normal.

Now my system has very good cooling apart fromt the bog standard P4 heatsink so it can handle it, but this causes it to make my computer run warm constantly.

anyone else noticing this?

P4 2.6ghz
gforce 5700OC
1gig ram

Its an Intel product. dont you want your proccessor at 100% giving you no lag what so ever? expet your not a server...

But really I have no idea why it would be 100% all the time; maybe cause its up.

let me explain a bit more.

its says CPU usage is at 100% while guild wars is running

NOT that the CPU is running at 100% Efficiency

ie if i run farcry when im just sitting around its at say 20%. When i am fighting x, shooting x it jumps up to 80% usage (not quite these numbers but you get the point).

Guild wars is always 100% usage no matter what im doing in game

Its even wierder than that...look at the history graph. If you alt-tab away from GW, it goes to 100% cpu. But while it has focus, it uses less.

They forgot to optimize some piece of code in a thread or two. Not that big of a deal though...
