and what exact # ?
full system spec? include make and model of the psu
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
what game? what resolution?
One thing to keep in mind here is the 9700k is way overkill for the 1660. Try comparing benchmarks to other 1660 users with any reasonably modern i7 or i5s, it may just be that you excpected the 1660 to be a stronger graphics card.
Because today's cpus have multiple cores/threads, that number is not accurate. You have to monitor each core/thread, because all it takes is just a single one to hold back everything.while playing fortnite, my cpu usage was around 75%, while my gpu usage was around 44%.
You didn't choose Sensors Only in the checkbox when you first opened it up?
Because the game wasn't programmed to do so. There's usually only a single 'primary thread' that's in charge of communicating all tasks to the other cores/threads.I don’t know much about this, but why can’t the other cores provide more so the work load is evenly divided, allowing to push higher limits?
