CPU vid mem and ram usage

[tekjunkie]

Idk if this is a concern or how quad cores are suppose to work but when the game is under load my video memory is maxed out on a 1GB card (gtx 285) and my ram never exceeds 69% usage. Im currently doing testing with 12 civ 24? cs and huge map normal time and the turn is 200. my turns take about 2-5 secs and have been about the same since the 1st turn. When I make the turn the cpu usage never ever goes above 50% and only one core spikes to ~70% and the other remain largely unchanged and over around 20-40%. I dont have any problem with crashes yet and this is my 1st game with a huge map of civ 5. Also, about the video mem usage u run the game maxed out and 1920x1080 res with 0 AA. what do u guys think of this "lack of cpu usage" and obsessive vid mem usage?

100% VRAM usage is perfectly fine, and 40-50% CPU usage on a Quad core simply means that Civ5 does basically only use two of the four cores.
The high VRAM usage just means the game fills the VRAM with data it might need in the future, not that the VRAM is "full".
