HTT on vs HTT off. Gaming.

So... i have come to the conclusion my R9 Fury is just not fast enough to cause a bottleneck for my aging CPU, which is a good thing obviously, but little did i know that my frame rate drops in some games are nothing to do with the fact it's old or it's IPC is below the later CPU's. HTT has literally starved my GPU of upwards of 30 FPS on average depending on the game.

 

GTA V with HTT off saw a 9 FPS improvement.

CSGO saw a BIG jump from 270 FPS average to 355 average with minimums climbing up too from 147 FPS to 193 FPS.

DOOM saw better GPU usage when hitting silly high frame rates, before GPU usage would top out around 88% which is a tiny bottleneck maxed out but with frames way above 100FPS too... with HTT off i see it hit 95-97% which is enough that it's within margin of error and there is no bottleneck.

what is HTT ? i know HT a.k.a. hyper threading. 

Old school HyperThreading abbreviation, someone dumb added an extra T and it stuck, it's quite common to say HTT instead of HT lol.

mkay ... seems like i totally missed that one.

intel seems to prefer a single T

 

however - are you saying that you get higher fps with hyperthreading disabled than with hyperthreading enabled ?

 

i heard about this happening ever since the technology has existed but did not find any hard facts on it being a general issue or any info on how and why this happens.

Yes improved frame rates with it off, at least in the games i play the most.
