Massive CPU Occupancy with 970?

I recently upgraded to an Nvidia GTX 970. Before that, I had a 670, as well as an AMD R9 280X, and everything ran fine.

With the 970, my CPU occupancy is above 100% all the time, and at or near 150% most of the time, even if I turn down graphical settings.

Why would this be so bad just due to a new GPU, which works fine and as expected in other games? I've already tried using ALL CPU's in GPXPatch, as well as each one individually, but no difference.

I would be glad if somebody else can advise what may be causing this.

When I ran GP4 on my last computer, I had a AMD Dual Core processor that gave 2.66Ghz while only using one of the cores.
When it crashed I bought a laptop that have a Quad Core but one core only delivers 1.5GHz. That has been the difference for me.

GP4 does not work properly with multiple cores, as far as I know it only uses one core.
When I see your PC specs, I find it weird you accually have a PO problem. For me it was what kind of processor I had, and it needs to
be played on 0 or 1 cores in GPxPatch for me to work properly.

Firstly, always use CPU=0. Don't use All.

Secondly, try going into Options - Graphics - Advanced and setting the mode to Manual. Then change texture detail to high. If it is set to high already, set it to medium (I know it's a weird advice, trust me, just change it!). Now try again and check your PO.

Well it was fine with this CPU before, with different GPU's, as stated above...

I always ran with CPU=0, but the problem started when I swapped GPU's. So I tried different options.

But I'll try the second part. Thanks!

EDIT: Updated specs.

I had the same problem with my new pc and once I've put the remove2gb file in my mod everything started to work perfectly,if you don't have this file let me know I'll upload it for you

After changing the GPU, have you re-calibrated graphics?
Perhaps GP4 is still thinking there is the old card?
What card is mentioned in "gconfig.txt"?

My personal GP4 files at : www.4shared.com ______ My Blog at : Gitanes GP4 work

* Performance Files * LoadingScreens GoogleMaps * GP4 Tracks and Cars Databases

So I decided to rename my F1graphics.cfg and recreate it. All better now.

Thanks guys,
