Always 100% CPU usage

[This Too Shall Pass]

my cpu is AMD Phenom II x6 1055T ,gpu is HD7850 1G and 12G RAM,when I started Dark Souls III , even in the main menu ,the cpu usage will rise to 95-100%,and lag all the time. The game video setting is lowest .maybe my cpu is old ,but it can play other most game very well ,just like GTA5 and Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI ,Fallout 4, MGS V and so on.I have seen a game which uses 100%cpu usage first time, why this happened?

My cpu is always 100% when playing dark souls III but game runs smooth 60-53 FPS ... How many RAM do you have i recommend at least 6gb

overclock to 4 ghz.
How many go ram you have?
7850 is very old ,you can't buy an r9 290 or gtx 1060?

and what I said is cpu usage, 7850 is very old but it still can play this game at 30fps

What is wrong with 100% usage? The cpu is made to work, why would you not want it to use its full potential?

it means something ,just GTA5 and Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI ,Fallout 4, MGS V they use 50% or less ,and in Dark Souls III just in the main menu ,it go 100%,is it right?

your ram size fine, cpu need overcloking, but 7850 is very low (7970 mini for ds3).

I guess it is not the CPU. Got myself a Phenom II 4x 945 and the game runs pretty well at high settings. But im wondering how you can handle Fallout 4 with just an 1 GB Video card. Would suggest to upgrade it to atleast one with 2 GB.
