CPU throttling in games
@SlayerOfHellWyrm OKAY, so this is super weird I was messing around watching Task mgr and there was only one process that using any CPU really even at idle. The culprit... I think... is lightingservice.exe, I googled it and it turns out that this process has been a big problem for many people for a multitude of reasons, mainly triggering EAC and other anti-cheat solutions that games use that caused crashing. This wasn't the issue I was having but it seemed to still be the problem. In GTA I was only getting about 35% cpu usage, DOOM was roughly 40-50% and Borderlands 3 stayed around 40% but had some blips here and there where it would sit between 80-100% for about 10 seconds, not sure what that's about.
I will play around with it more tomorrow to see if I just got good numbers for a day. One thing though is I can't open lightingservice.exe again without restarting my computer.
ODD note... in all 3 games I was usually getting around 120-130 fps but for some reason was only getting between 70-80 while testing and that's with vertical sync disabled in Nvidia control panel and in game. But that's a whole different issue by itself.
