Ksp bottle necking issue

[titaniumtown]

    I was playing kerbal space program and it was very slow my specs are a evga 980 ti sc+, 2x xeon x5460, 32 gb ddr2 fb-dimm ecc, a intel s5000psl mobo. I am thinking it is a bottleneck, please help me find out what the bottleneck is!!!

KSP is a single threaded game, your CPU is the bottleneck, get a high IPC CPU.

when i look in task manager it show me that all the cpu cores are at 50% usage

i will just say, KSP is mostly a single threaded game, but they do have support for more than one thread now, something like a 7700k or ryzen will give you much better performance, KSP mostly a CPU depended game because of all the physics calculations are done by the CPU, so the CPU is the most crucial part.

ok I see it now one of my core are maxed out so i guess that was the problem thanks!

don't trust windows task manager, it can be misleading.

can you use physx for physics?

nope, GPU accelerated physicX is not implemented in KSP sadly.
