does your overclock stably run say ‘intel burn test’ etc… just cause other programs don’t use your cpu well (most games haven’t for yonks… a first gen i7 being enough for most every game… unless north of 80fps is the goal…)
as I said even with this game,… dropping a massive overclock didn’t take away any fps.
skyrim uses `10% of my cpu, the withcher 3 ¬15-20 and this game ¬30%…
it is very impressive and Ican see it in action… but,… Iam thinking your overclock,… basically never really being utilised doesn’t mean your machine is guaranteed to push those numbers, stably at all.
run some intense cpu software and check the OCis sound.
as Isaid… many year old cpu at stock clocks isn’t holding me back (still GPUbottlenecked).
I’d definately ease off on that OC if it isn’t doing anything useful.
Even my old 3770k i left at 4.2 (helpful for battlefield multiplayer on a 120HZ screen), otherwise a brief need for Forza to run at 4.5Ghz was the only reason Ieventually raised it. even though it ran 5.2 easily and stabily… there was no point.
IF it ain;t helping,… and as we can experience, it is hingering… I’d say … keep the settings handy for a game that may one day need it… but for now…
