So I decided to play this shit called CS:GO yesterday.
I do have relatively powerful PC with i7-950 (quad core with hyperthreading), 6GB of dual channel RAM, and GTX460 with the latest drivers.
Initially everything was fine, but after ~20 mins of playing I heard some beeping sound coming through my headphones. I took them off and I realized that beeping was coming from the area where my PC and UPS reside. It wasn't cyclic or constant beeping but rather intermittent and occurring at random times.
An attempt to find out where this beeping is coming from failed. I couldn't determine whether it's coming from my UPS (but it definitely sounded like the one UPS usually produces) or from my motherboard/GPU due to high temperature.
Then I paid attention to CPU and RAM usage on my G510's display. Holy SHIT! It was 70% of CPU and 85% of RAM.
Now for comparison, when I run TF2 (which I believe is running on the same source engine), my CPU consumption does not go above 15% and my RAM consumption stays below 50%.
I open up my PC and I realize that it was performing apartment heater's functions when CS:GO was running. Fans on GPU and CPU were going FUCKING NUTS, blowing out hot air like there is no tomorrow. I checked GPU's temperature and it was 85C whereas even in StarCraft II with Ultimate video settings it was not going above 75C.
So I quit CS:GO and what did I see? My RAM usage wouldn't drop below 65% even though nothing was running and system was basically in standby mode (usually RAM consumption is 40% when system is in standby mode).
Anyone has been observing the same behavior? Is CS:GO a black hole for real? Or are there serious memory leaks that CS:GO might be causing? Or it's just my hands growing out of my ass?
