    Hi everyone, for some reason my system isn't using 100% of my CPU when I'm playing Age of Conan. It's only using 70-80% Has anyone else experienced this problem with this game or is that normal (I know it's not -.-).

    Thanks in advance for the help

    Also, when I have task manager open and I'm running Orthos it registers as using 100% of the CPU =/

    yea the only games know to utilize 99-100% of the cpu power in a dual core have been games based on the unreal engine 3, likw UT3, gears of war, stranglehold. GRID also uses alot.
