I usually do 45 loops, but since I'm working on OCing my video card, I ran 99 loops of the Crysis GPU benchmark for the first time. as the number of loops increased, I noticed a slow and steady increase in CPU usage. eventually, CPU usage got pegged at 100% on both cores of my E8500 @ 4.1 at some point past 45 loops.
now, if I were to just run 1 loop, my CPU usage starts out around 70% for Core 1 and 50% for Core 2. does anyone know what might be causing the CPU usage buildup? It's nothing I'm really concerned about but definitely am curious about.
in terms of any increase in framerate, it's negligible between loop 2 and loop 99.
