High cpu usage

from Stardock Forums

Dear,

After installing the game Ashes of Singularity i inmediatly noticed during the benchmark that cpu usage was twice as high as before while ram usage is barely at 2 gb's. Now as you can see in the benchmarks it does run though i fear that a playing the game for more then an hour a piece is really not recommended.

If i reflect this behaviour back to the workings of my own p.c. i think that if the game adresses memory in a more efficient way, lets say it uses on dx 11 8 to 9 gb's in total ( that is with 4 gb of the system ) the cpu will run in a more efficient way. I'm just a newb on the matter of this subject so maybe this sounds like it is complete nonsense

So with the fear of sounding like an idiot i want to ask if this behaviour on my system is what i should expect or that ashes in its current state is still a test case?

When you ran it last were your settings all the same? As far as I know nothing should have changed this.

I ran the benchmark about 6 times with varieties in renderer gpu and graphics quality. If i choose dx 12 there is a 3 to 4 gb increase from the start as opposed to dx 11 ( so 11 measures at a total of 5,5 gb's and dx 12 goes to 8,5/9 gigabytes of system ram use ) but this doesn't affect current cpu load at all wich remains high between 50 and 70% load which is really absurd! 
In the beginning of this year i tested the game out to see how my new ryzen system would react and i'm fairly certain i was on the cpu load subject no where higher then around 30% cpu load and system ram measured between 10 and 12 gb's which was fine.... 

as you can see from the bench results it is not that i can not experience the game but this feels like such a drop back into the stone age... Playing like this totally opposes my envisioning of my new gaming life
