CPU noob question

[rixhi]

Hi,,

Anyone know the specific reason, when I play vidya, only the top CPU goes to 50-80% usage, the bottom CPU stays around 1%?


Thanks.

The "top CPU" is your CPU.

 

The "bottom CPU" is actually your GPU, that means your graphics card.

 

How much your CPU and graphics card are utilized in games is dependent on a lot of factors, starting with the game you're playing, the resolution you're playing at, etc.
