High system cpu usage while playing poe

Hey


My ntoskrnl.exe!WheaAttemptPhysicalPageOffline+0x350 and dxgmms1.sys!VidMmInterface+0x266d0 threads are using about 12% of my cpu when playing poe. This happens with dx9 and dx11. I'm using Win 7.

I tried playing some other games like overwatch and heroes of the storm and in both games the cpu usage of those threads never went over 1%.

I tried to update my nvidia gpu's drivers but it didnt do anything. Can any1 help me with this?

I unplugged my 2nd monitor and it seemed to have fixed the issue. CPU usage of both those threads dropped below 1%.

Though now i'm wondering why the 2nd monitor affect this game in anyway.

I wonder if this is the same issue I'm having. Been having massive performance issues since 3.1, huge FPS drops and high CPU usage. Can actively get 160+ FPS in other games, but PoE combat has been dropping me to 30 FPS. Going to complete Fullscreen solves the FPS problem, didn't check CPU when I did that. Wonder if they're connected? Effectively removing the second monitor.

I tried going fullscreen and it actually does same thing as unplugging the monitor. CPU usage of those 2 threads stays at 1%.

edit: Actually it's bit worse. CPU usage is about 2% when fullscreen instead of 1% when monitor unplugged, but i can live with that.
