so its normal for cpu usage to be over 60% in mid game?

Earlier I was around turn 400 on a huge map and it was like 60%

When ever I start a civ 5 game, I alway check task manager to see what my cpu usage is. It hovers around 20-30%. Is this normal?

if its the most efficient, civ v is waaaay ahead of its times. If an I7, arguably one of the most sophisticated processors on the market, cant run it smoothly, what can? As far as the lag, could it be my gpu? It's brand new, updated drivers and is a geforce 760 (not top of the line but a...

Ok, im not really comfortable with over-clocking a CPU, unless I absolutely have to. Do I REALLY need to over-clock to play civ 5? Is it really that intensive?? I THINK Joshua is an HP motherboard, and I know its a uATX type, but not sure what else... Anyway, to be blunt, is there a p...

Oh, is a duel core with hyperthreading same as duel core?

i5-2500k is what im considering... Not sure if it will run civ v or not.. hope so. As far as my mobo, I'm pretty sure it will support it, but im not sure if my mobo supports over clocking.. How would I find out? If worse comes to worse, ill buy a new motherboard.

So will an i5 do the trick?

and what is a socket 1155 cpu?

it's not a bad cpu, but civ still lags. I wanna eliminate most of the lag. Hopefully an i5 will do the trick. And ok, what is over clocking and how do i do it? Can i over clock my existing cpu? maybe that will solve the issue?

Hey fellow Civ-ers! I started a thread in a separate forum, but it was suggested this might be a better forum. Ok, so I bought this HP 500-123w at Wal-Mart last month. Not a terrible system (I tell ya, in the past two weeks live learned more about how to build computers than I ever have lol)...

the hp site says it can support anything up to a i7 2000k (95 watt) cpu. As far as onboard graphics, i have a geforce 760 card, so i dont really need onboard graphics.

What type of CPU would yall recommend to run civ 5 on a huge map and full settings? I currerntly have a duo core i3 with hyper threading, 12 gig memory, 550 watt psu and a gefore 760 msi graphics card.

would you say civ 5 is one of the most demanding pc games on the market or no?

Ok, apparently he is using integrated graphics and 4 gig ram. That makes more sense. I was just puzzled as to how a game from 2009 could out preform a processor that was released almost 3 years later. lol

So basically, im looknig at turns last upwards to one minute?? By comparison to other, Civ V does not APPEAR to be that resource intense. Is it a bug in the system, or no? Oh, and I don't do mods.

Hey guys! I have an I3 duel corewith hyperthreading 3.4 ghz. I'm wondering if its good enough to pla;y civ 5 on full (im ordering a great gpu from new egg). My friend told me that even his i7 struggles to run civ 5 on full. This makes no sence. i7 is TOP OF THE LINE, but yet it cant handle a...

its not a mega size 500 pound case like you see on these huge gaming rigs, but its not like one of those little acers either

Hey guys! Just joined. Well, technically I joined like a month ago under the name YetuBaba but I never recieved my activation email. So, despite NUMEROUS attempts to contact site administration, I decided to jsut make a new account. Anyway, I just bought a 500 dollar new H 500-123 computer...
