I had this issue initially in CBE2 whereby I was getting poor frames (as many users have complained about).

I checked MSI Afterburner and it showed very unusual GPU utilisation as you can see below.

In CBE2 I put this down to my computer operating a hybrid onboard Intel GPU and nVidia model for power saving. I was able to force the nVidia GPU to fix the problem (which I shouldn't have to do as all other games work fine). However, the problem has come back with CBE3 and I can't seem to fix it.

My computer specs;
Asus N56VZ-DS71
nVidia GT650m
Intel Core i7 3610QM 2.3 GHz (boosts to 3.2GHz under load)
750GB HDD
8GB RAM
Windows 8 Pro

This is not really a bug. This is a lack of optimization with the graphics engine, which is... just going to happen while the game's still in active development. Give it time. Optimization comes near the end. Make it work, then make it fancy.

I disagree. Low FPS is a lack of optimization - 50% GPU utilization is an error, a bug. I can understand if my GPU is at 100% utilization and FPS is low but those wild spikes in my graph ONLY occur in this game.

Er, no. It doesn't take 100% GPU to cause a bottleneck.

I have an older gfx card and worse CPU and it runs smoothly.
GTX260, i7 Q720, Win7 all settings on High.

How you consider 50% gpu utilization an error is beyond me, care to explain?

My specs:
windows 7 x64
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
AMD Radeon HD6870 1GB
8GB DDR2 RAM
Creative X-Fi Titanium
Seagate 500GB HDD

Effect all off, low Detail, low Texture.
sometime downfall 30~40 fps in combat、move、turn.

CB3 smooth than before, but not enough yet.
Need more optimization!!!
