Diablo 4 isn't working properly on the right processors anymore.
The problem isn't related to the correct UEFI configurations. Which CPPC option are you employing? I noticed the 'prefer cache' setting helps resolve parking concerns. It's set to 'auto' by default, utilizing the POS driver.
Asus has this curious odd way of handling things lately. After a few years, I’m not sure anymore. The CPPC needs to push apps to CCD0 first, only moving to CCD1 when it surpasses that. Otherwise, background apps keep triggering P-states on CCD1 all the time. I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking different CCD and UEFI settings on my 7950x3D, which really motivated my purchase. In the worst case, running it in an 8+0 setup gives a noticeable edge over a 7800x3D because the boost factor is higher—about 52.5 versus 50.5—but I rarely hit that maximum in practice. Right now, I stick to setting the EXPO profile, choosing 'prefer cache' for CPPC, and using my +200MHz/-15mV PBO curve. I noticed the 7950x3D stays cooler during full 16c/32t runs without any drop in game performance compared to a fake 7800x3D. My guess is it’s due to better unparking when background apps load CCD1.
Check the CPPC settings for the 'prefer cache' option. If you have an ASUS board, it should be listed there.
It's frustrating reaching it, took some time to learn the navigation. It should be close to the settings you're already using, perhaps in SMV/SMU or advanced platform/CPU options. I'm not on the system for a few hours to provide you with precise location details, but it's probably in a sub-menu similar to what's on my X670e Aorus Master. It should be fairly consistent across an Asus board.
Sure, I hope my comment on SMU helped you locate what you were looking for. It seems the syntax is similar, but I adapt it by mentioning 'prefer cache'. From what I understand, Asus' special setting is essentially a customized profile with many adjustments. In my view, it might not be worth the effort considering how minimal Asus invests in most of their products, even the premium ROG models.
