Posted April 6, 2018 Hello, So I edit and render around 2 videos a day, and i would like to game when im rendering since i dont need my hands for rendering (duh), the game i play is Overwatch, but whenever im playing it and rendering a video it lags and becomes unplayable because of the FPS drops, now.. i KNOW that it's a cpu problem (usually) but my cpu is pretty capable of such tasks, its a Ryzen 7 1700 8 Cores 16 Threads Overclocked to 3.5GHz, so its pretty capable, and my gpu is a GTX 1060 6GB (if it matters), so i need to know what's causing this problem and how can i fix it?

Posted April 6, 2018 You can force your rendering software to use certain cores. Just disable the first 4 and enable them for overwatch || CPU: I7 6950X @4.6 (1.35V) || Cooler: CUSTOM EK LOOP || Motherboard: ASUS RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 || GPU: 2x Vega 64 Strix OC @1762 / 1100 MHz || Memory: 16GB G.Skill Royal RGB 3200 Mhz || HDD: Segate Barracuda 3TB || SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 512 GB || PSU: Corsair HX 1200 W || Case: Fractal Design Define R6 Gunmetal || Fans: Corsair HD120 (x4) / BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 (x4) || Monitor: ACER XF27HU || Second Monitor: BENQ RL2455HM || Mouse: Logitech G502 Pretus Core || Keyboard: Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum || Headphones: Sennheiser IE80 || Buildlog expirience swapping to x99: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 6, 2018 Enable CUDA if you can. Not many PCs can render and game simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 6, 2018 Highly tempted to say of course you can't..go for a smoke or something..let it do its thing before you go for another gaming session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 6, 2018 Pinning threads with task manager will mostly fix this issue. Task manager -> Details -> right click the process for your video renderer -> set affinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 6, 2018 It doesn't matter how many cores it has, it will just use those for rendering as well. This is not a matter of how capable the CPU is, but how the priorities are set.
