Who said games used only a couple threads?

[shorinman]

watchdogs loves everything...RAM, VRAM, CPU threads...it's a very demanding game indeed!

I'm going to put up a thread with all of the things I did (including TheWorse+Maldo textures) along with 2-3 other tweaks that got this game running gold for me all the time. It'll probably be Monday.

CPU Usage

Lowering the resolution to 1024×768 to monitor CPU usage we see all 12 threads of the Intel i7 3930K being utilized. At the 1080,1440 and 4K resolution we see very similar results.

On the topic of watchdogs, I recently got an i7 920 from work for freesies to replace my qx9650. Overclocked to 3.8 (click for hi-res)

 

 

hyperthreading off, stuttering for days. Hyperthreading on, buttery smooth. All options maxed, 50fps average.

yes i get the same result when i disable ht the game runs much poorly...i must add though that so far this has been the only game where ht makes such a big difference, the other multi-threaded games not being cpu intensive enough just yet i assume.

I'm not an expert, but CPU can keep switching threads from core to core for more equal work load. That in mind what you are seeing might actually just be 4 main threads spread over 8 cores (4 cores@100% vs 8 cores@50%).
