Hey guys;
I've got a new build (April 2020) with the following specs:
ASUS Tuf Gaming X570 Plus WiFi
Ryzen 7 3700X with Wraith Prism cooler
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X 8G
Monitor 1: NEC EA244WMi @ 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, Monitor 2: Samsung 2494HS @ 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4 3200MHz
2ea WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 1TB SSD
Seasonic Focus GM-750
Fractal Designs Meshify C (no glass)
4 case fans (2x 140mm front, 1x 120mm rear, 1x 120mm top) controlled by ASUS Q-Fan control.
Windows 10 Pro x64 ver 1909
I noticed the other day that when I run Tina Basic circuit sim, my CPU % goes to near 100%, with the one process (Tina) using all of it.
Specifically, when the virtual oscilloscope is running. I haven't tried any of the other virtual instruments. Tina does not appear to use nearly as much resource when I run a 'normal' analysis using 'transient' or 'AC' compared to real-time view on the scope. Note also that I am only running two channels on the scope.
If I try to do anything else while the sim is running, it takes forever.
Thankfully, I can control how many threads Tina uses. It was set to Max by default, but when I lowered it to 8, Tina used about 55-60% CPU and other app could run.
I ran a brief test with Tina and a train simulator (Run8 V2) which doesn't use much resource.
When Tina was running with threads set to max, Run8 frame rate would drop from about 37 to 15.
When I set Tina to use only 8 threads, I got about 35 FPS in Run8.
I am running with the AMD Ryzen High Performance power plan.
Are there any other settings (in Windows) that I should be looking at?
Thanks for your help
