90% CPU usage on one core while gaming.

[Almonise]

 First let's start with the system spec:
(laptop)
- i7-8750h
- GTX 1060 6gb

- 16gb dddr4

 

 One of my cpu core/thread hit 90% usage while gaming, is this normal? I know video games only use single core but why at 90% load? The game that i'm playing is an online MMORPG, is this the case?

That sounds about right. Some games use just one core.

Have you noticed performance drops or low gpu usage? If not, it's fine.

 My gpu is not even hit 50% load QAQ.

What game is it? Perhaps its just an old game that uses only 1 core, and just doesnt need all the power your 1060 has to offer.

I think it's because the game itself, poor optimization...

Dragon nest, it's very old and I have SweetFx on too.

 

so, I've tested with other games, and seems like Dragon Nest is the only one that put 90% load on one core...
