still wouldn't explain why in core temp it is showing 1 core at 47% and the other core at 12% while playing baten kaitos and getting 23 fps.. shouldn't my cpu usage be higher per core?

i do have dual core enabled btw.. and like i said my gpu is pretty good and i'm running native resolution for testing purposes so i doubt it's bottlenecked by the gpu.




update- i tried unchecking dual core and i get the exact same 23 fps and core 1- 47% core 2 - 12%

so it seems like dual core mode isn't properly working for me?

For baten kaitos single core is the default since with dual core you get an almost certain crash after taking pics of monsters or while trying to sell them. Change the setting in the game properties if you want, but you should not take any pics and earn money that way or face crashes.
