(thread moved here from overclocking) Ok so Intel basically said "we don't know, it's an old game, you should ask them". So I asked them but they replied "we don't know". I asked them if at least they knew how many cores the game used and they replied "sorry, we don't know". So now I feel I've...

If the game were using more than one core wouldn't the "Active Core Count" be higher than 1? I'm not trying to fine tune it : I'm trying to get it to work properly and it does when benchmarking it with CinebenchR23 using the single core option. I already tested setting the ratios in BIOS...

I'm sorry, did you think that was helpful too? It wasn't. I have a problem, I'm trying to solve it, you're not helping. Buying another CPU is not a solution to this problem. Please don't bother replying anymore unless you have anything constructive to say, we'd be wasting both of our time.

That's not helpful ... It's more than 5 fps difference, plus it's more to do with keeping the FPS at my screen's refresh rate, but that's off topic.. I realised I hadn't done this because of the after burner thing got me distracted, so tonight I ran Cinebench R23 on "single core" mode while...

It makes a difference to me because I bought a 4090 graphics card, which is way too powerful for anything I play right now, which means I'm bottlenecked on the CPU, so I'm trying to boost it as much as I can because every little bit does help in this case.

Yes. I can OC to all cores 51x (51GHz) and that works fine. But I can't go higher than that using this method. It's that last one, the 8 active core ratio, if I bump it to 52x, I crash. I noticed that I could increase the ratio for less than 8 cores higher while at the same time keeping...

ok that's weird, before downloading and testing with HWinfo64, I launched MSI Afterburner. The "CPU clock speed" in Afterburner was 100Mhz higher than the "Max Core Frequency" in XTU. However, in the setup I am using at the moment (1 Active Core 52x, the rest at 51x), the Afterburner CPU speed...

If I run XTU on my second screen and play a game on the first one, I can see the CPU stats while I play. One of them is "Active Core Count". When I play, the Active Core Count is 1. I assume that means the same thing as "1 single core". However the frequency I used; 5.3GHz, was an illustration...

____ EDIT : --> When running benchmarks and stress tests, the P-Core ratios seem to be applied correctly. When stress testing all cores, the stress test runs at the speed set for 8 active cores. When benchmarking 1 core, it runs at the speed set for 1 active core. --> I tested in another...

ok thanks a lot

PS. I don't know much about electricity, but I go a high end "much more than enough in fact probably over the top" power box (was planning on using more than one gcard in future etc but IT vendors all told me it was much too much). I don't suppose this means I should be able to increase the...
