Single core turbo Zen2

HI everyone, why does my 3600 not do single core boost? It only does all-core even on War Thunder what exactly is wrong?

Perhaps the game engine in War Thunder supports multi-core CPUs and utilizes all of them. Have you tried to set an affinity for a certain amount of cores for War Thunder to use?

Single core boost has it in the name. Only used when a single core is active. Even having other programs open being a bit active is enough for it to not fully work.

 

War thunder is a multi core game so of course you are getting the multi core boost limit. I think it uses up to 4 cores fully if I remember correctly which means all core boost frequency is used.

 

Nothing to do about it except you tinkering in the bios with clockspeeds.

My 9600K never really got to use its single core boost in games, either. It ran at 4.3GHz, the all-core boost, basically all the time in games unless overclocked.

 

Newer games are multithreaded, which is a good thing. You're getting more performance with being able to use 4+ cores than even a single core boosted to 5GHz would get you.

My Intel 10600 does in War Thunder it seems and the Rivatuner OSD seems to verify, the only difrence that I can think of is that the Ryzen uses a Nvidia card? I know that uses more CPU than Radeon but wasn't that just a DX12/Vulkan thing?

What? Gpu doesn't matter here. Dx12/vulkan works for either one war thunder does have Vulkan which lowers the cpu load but still won't active the single core boost since well it's now using the cores of the cpu less hard than the first 4 fully.

The single core boost is not going to be affected by what brand of a graphics card you're going to use (AMD or Nvidia). The game engine is still going to utilize 4 cores for War Thunder to run. I'd restrict the number of cores to the game to one to try and force single core boost to enable.

Actually, Nvidia uses a multithreaded software scheduler that runs on the CPU while AMD uses a hardware scheduler on the card. So, if the game itself (not saying War Thunder is, just generally) was single-threaded, then an Nvidia user would still notice lower boost clocks as some cores are being used to run the Nvidia driver.
