CPU usage at 100% when gaming...

[Letten]

Hello, recently I have installed windows 8.1 just to take a look at it, but when I installed Smite I noticed that it was Choppy and some animations were broken, my cpu usage was at 100% everytime.

With windows 7 I played smite smoothly at 60fps at max settings.

AMD A10 7700k

In the task manager it tells me that I have 2 cores but 4 logical processor, as far as I know I have 4 cores not 2, thanks

You are the second person I have seen with this problem in the last week. Upgraded to win 8.1 and half their cores disappeared. I have no solution though.

Anyways with 2 cores I can play web games but now I cant, everything that takes 10% of cpu takes 80% instead

check to see if there is any updated drivers for your motherboard and see if that fixes the problem

Task manager is correct, technically.
The A10 7700k's CPU side has two bulldozer modules, that have 2 logical processors each. All of the "8 core" AMD processors fall into the same category, 4 modules with 2 logical processors each.
I like to think of the module cores being a halfway between Intel's hyperthreading, and a full core.

That's just information that changes nothing however. As for the 100% CPU usage, try the basics first. Reinstall all of your drivers with the Windows 8.1 versions, force directX to update ect. See if that helps anything first, the A10-7700k should easily handle Smite as it was for you before.

Ok thanks, I think I didn't installed DirectX11

I couldn't make it to run without reaching 100%
