so, just wanted to know is the cpu making the game lag or the gpu ? since cpu usage is 99% and if I change the processor to quad core processor will I see any change and if yes, to what extent ?

Your processor is a serious bottleneck dude. This game is way more CPU intensive than the GPU. Getting a i5 2400 will increase performance by quite a large margin

Slow processor. You need a faster one.

Phenom II X4 955 BE and Core i3-2100 are the minimum for gaming.

I have merged your threads. Please see my post #11.
