Hardware utilization bug when driving!?
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

hello devs,

recently i acknowledged something that seemed really odd. whenever i keep walking around in chernarus my notebook goes for all fans at maximum and gets really loud. windows taskmanager says the hardware utilization is at 100% concerning cpu and gpu. however if i get in a car drive about 5 to 10 minutes the frames will drop below 10 fps and wont go up unless i leave the car or relog. but this will just repeat again after those 5 to 10 minutes. my mate has experienced the same thing, but he has a really great pc with gtx980 and an intel i7 quadcore processor. my laptop has got an i5 6300hq and a gtx960m, but the performance is great except when driving cars.
the odd thing now when driving is that the fan of my notebook just goes to desktop mode in the same moment when the frames start to drop, meaning its not hearable, normally and in all other games even less demanding ones such as counter strike global offensive the fan always stays at maximum level and is really loud. my mate has experienced the same thing. we both then checked our taskmanagers for hardware utilization and we discovered that neither the cpu or gpu was at maximum utilization. not even 50%. most of the time about 25 or lower which basically means that when driving the hardware is not as demanded as when walking. at least its the case on our both systems.

greetings from germany :)
