Specs(Setup) :
AMD Athlon II x4 640
8GB RAM Dual Channel @1600MHz
GT 630 OEM (QUADRO K420)
Asus M5A78L-M LE
The rest of parts are from previous build:
500GB+250GB HDD
Intel Celeron G1820
LGA 1550 AsRock H81M
I gave this setup to my brother (except GPU), since I thought it would perform better in games than Celeron G1820, which is true because I used it with my GTX 750 and older games. But performance is worst then it was. For some reason games run worse and it's not GUP's fault.
Let's take PayDay 2 as example . GPU usage is low around 50-70% . CPU usage is around 50% meanwhile 4th CPU core is maxing at 100%, for some reason. That didn't happened when paired with GTX 750. I also tested few other games and results are similar.
Now when I ran Cinebench R15 I got around 270 multi-threaded and 68 single threaded score, which is pretty much same as when I used it.
Maybe it's because of Windows doing something with CPU, since I don't know what else could be causing this behavior.
I tried reinstalling GPU drivers, changing RAM speed, checking if something is using CPU in background but no luck.
EDIT:
BEFORE YOU SAY THAT CPU IS OLD FOR GAMING, I AM GOING TO REPEAT AGAIN . It is used for playing lite and older games. No AAA titles .
