Hello,
I was just wondering why the CPU (for 2 cores if your running quad) is never at peak level. Is it more graphics dependent? I have a hd 4 series and it's been very good to me, being able to play most games on max graphics with the exception of really grafix demanding games and physics. I have also noticed this when converting a video supporting quad core. Converting a video, it would use around 45 percent of the CPU and when converting 2 videos simultaneously it would use 90 percent of the CPU.
Also when i say 45 percent, I don't mean it maxs out 2 cores. It is over all four cores.
I have noticed similar with dolphin when games aren't running at full speed.I.e. Games run slow and 2 cores aren't maxed out. So is the graphics limiting it?
Could some shed some light?
Thanks,
