Check Task Manager for CPU usage and see if you can run tasks on just two cores.
you've got an amd a10 7700k with four cores, but it seems only two are being utilized. i noticed from the task manager that it's using just two cores, which is disappointing since you recently upgraded your gpu to a radeon rx 580 and expected better performance. after spending a whole day trying to fix this issue without success, i'm really looking for someone to help me out. thank you in advance!
It's because your setup is designed to handle only two cores, yet all four are active. The initial two are receiving the most processing load. What you're experiencing is a single-core application being run on a dual-core system, which isn't optimized for multitasking. I was mistaken about AMD introducing multithreading for Ryzen.
You can try adjusting settings or using different configurations to reduce frame drops. Consider optimizing your game settings, updating drivers, or switching to a more stable GPU driver. If you're using a new GPU, ensure it's properly installed and compatible with your system.
These pre-Ryzen AMD chips each have one FPU-unit split between two cores. For instance, a 4-core processor provides just two FPUs, and Windows knows about this, so it only assigns tasks to the two available cores rather than spreading them across all four.
I might have to wait a few months before getting a Ryzen 5 or something similar, thanks. Appreciate the assistance!
