    Question Not sure what my bottleneck is (load depending on dx12/11 or vulkan)

    Ohh so basically you never want your CPU to peak 100% load ideally? What external factors outside of the CPU itself could cause that? (cpu barely reaches more than 50°C so the cooling should be fine. Running at 4200Mhz constantly) edit: I'm testing Palworld right now and reaching 83°C+ with my...

    Question Not sure what my bottleneck is (load depending on dx12/11 or vulkan)

    Ty for helping The game has not been played more than 1h total (testing) since last windows reinstall. Additionally, I am processing the vulkan shadercache via RAMDISK with my ram, which definitely helped a bit. But I feel like that was more a sideeffect rather than a fix of the actual problem

    Question Not sure what my bottleneck is (load depending on dx12/11 or vulkan)

    Yes, max. cpu load is 99% (I've heard that disables cpu-u states) and min load is random 94%. Link-State-Management is off and System Cooling policy on.

    In process of troubleshooting I already got a new cpu cooler and did (many...) clean reinstalls of windows. Also, POE is constantly improving and working on their engine- having insufficient hardware after a new patch/league is not that uncommon I guess. Maybe worth mentioning? The TDP of my i3...

    Question Does a reputable AV Software offers equal security as Microsoft Defender?

    Thanks for reply I am aware of that! My question was more about wether or not replacing Microsoft defender with BitDefender offers the same amount of Security (Virus+Network+Threat Protection, Firewall, Device Security,..)

    Question Does a reputable AV Software offers equal security as Microsoft Defender?

    Lets say I want to completly disable Microsoft Defender. Would (for example) BitDefender alone be enough to secure my windows os, for daily uses?
