How much cpu usage is too much for gaming?
I would consider optimal CPU usage to be about 70%. If you are running at 90% CPU use it means you're probably experiencing a bottleneck and will likely be getting frame drops and periodic stutters. If your CPU is too far under 50% it means your GPU is either a bit too anemic, or you have way more CPU than you need.
