My GTX 760 goes half usage or so with high or low settings in graphics because my Old Core 2 Quad Q9650 has one core in max usage, others very high too. My CPU meets the recommended specs with 3 percent more but they are the actual minimum.

There is a 90% chance brcause this game is also poorly optimized. So play the demo(or pirated) before purchasing
