CPU:i7-4770k
GPU: GTX 770
Preset: Veryfast
Resolution: 1920x1080 scaled to 1280x720
Fps: 60
Bitrate: 4000

I am trying to stream Far Cry 3 and my CPU usage is shooting up to high 90's (red) is this supposed to happen with my setup?

Have you tried to limit/lower the ingame graphic quality? It can be a factor if you use Game Capture while streaming.

fc3 is an demanding game but it shouldnt be demanding that much ... are your temps all fine?

My temps are just a little below or above 60

After a little bit more playing I've noticed sometimes I get around 45-50% Usage but always high during cutscenes

Yeah, I haven't played FC3 so I'm not sure what regular CPU usage % is. But that is definitely a lot higher than expected, if that were the case... then the results your getting while streaming makes sense :\.

I'd take a look to see if that CPU usage is normal though just to be on the safe side.
