Annoyingly high cpu usage

How much is your CPU usage?

Hello I bought a new PC recently and I am noticing unusual high CPU usage, my CPU is AMD FX-8150, and with 8 bots its loading at 35-40%? How is this possible each of the HB's is using 2-2,5% but I've seen other people runing much more bots with lower CPU usage on older CPUs, or the 2nd article of Bossland where he runs 31 bots at 40% CPU usage with i7-920, and that CPU specs are lower than mine... my MB is Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, Also using an SSD and a single instance of WoW.. GPU - Palit GTX560 2GB Ti load is at 13% and only 300MB, so no prob here... and 16 GB RAM this can't be causing it either...


What's yours? Post the number of bots, CPU, and CPU Usage (% in task manager)

What sort of settings are you running the clients at?

Low on all, FPS limited to 35..

AMD FX 8150 is not a fantastic CPU. It's normal tbh.

You can try limiting the frames in WOW to 20-30 and your load will reduce. However, that i7 can handle more than the FX

The Bulldozer range do not play games well (in comparison to older AMD Phenom and Intel's i3/i5/i7 range) because of it's low instructions per clock.

My i5 3570K quad can do 8 bots at 30%-40% if I put the resolution, graphic settings and frames to low.

Edit: misread your post above... I did not see you already tried limiting frames
