Apologies for the delayed response; I’ve been away for a while, but the outcome remains unchanged.
Are you using FastSync? It seems there might be an issue, so I’d try various drivers and reinstall Windows if needed. While searching online, I discovered others facing similar issues, usually related to core parking or other power-saving features.
You won't notice it. If the game runs smoothly on one core at full speed, it won't be apparent. The operating system distributes this single thread across all cores evenly. On two cores, you'd observe roughly half activity on each even when fully utilized.
The operating system controls the behavior of the OS. It seems odd that it could transform a simple threaded application into a multi-threaded version. Consider how a typical single-threaded game appears. Also, note that I wasn't focusing on a game being inherently single-threaded, but rather on one thread being heavily loaded while others remain idle. This situation produces a comparable outcome.
I never mentioned that before. It's possible to schedule a single thread across several cores, so you won't have one core running at full capacity.
Your description seems to point toward a software-related issue. If everything is loading into just one thread and switching between hardware threads, that suggests a problem with the software configuration. Setting processor affinity in an application that spans multiple threads could cause uneven CPU usage, indicating a possible bottleneck. I understand your perspective but my earlier reply should have been clearer.
No need for fast sync or G sync settings. All drivers behave similarly, so I won’t reinstall the Windows version for this. It seems the issue might be with the driver, especially since at 4K I can achieve full GPU utilization—GTX 1080 Ti seems to handle it well.
