my gpu usage doesn't want to reach near 100% in certain games
Guys, I just played Minecraft and the GPU usage was about 30% while still getting over 100 FPS. I don't know why it feels like it's capped even though it's not.
Be mindful when analyzing task manager CPU usage.
Windows distributes the workload of a single thread among all available threads.
Thus, a single-threaded game that is CPU-intensive would appear as 25% utilization across all four threads on a quad-core processor.
This may mislead you into believing there is a bottleneck elsewhere.
It suggests that most games can effectively utilize more than four to six threads.
To assess threading performance, disable one thread and observe the results.
You can adjust settings in Windows MSConfig under Boot Advanced Options.
Reboot is required for changes to take effect.
Setting processors below your available count will show how responsive your applications are to multiple threads.
If the impact remains minimal, it indicates that additional cores won’t significantly improve performance.
A higher clock speed might be more beneficial in such cases.
