Im using 12.4 on an allienware M15x that has an ATI Mobility 5730 and for some reason in COx while at character select screen my GPU usage is at 99% (according to MSI Afterburner) but once Im in game the GPU usage drops to around 40% and gives me crappy FPS. If I window out of COx and put MSI Afterburner ontop of COx the GPU usage jumps up to 99% like I believe it should be. I don't have ultra mode enabled and the graphics in COx are set to Performance, this laptop should be doing a hell of a lot better than this. I know skyrim is a diff. animal all together but it runs nice and smooth with a pretty high graphic setting. Any help to fix this would be appreciated.
