I was doing some PC testing over the weekend and I noticed that my CPU with hyperthreading on was running one "proper" core at around 60-70% and another, physically separate, virtual core at a similar level. Most other core use was very low as I try to keep everything else to a minimum, but all cores showed some use. Once I disabled hyper threading I noticed I was now getting just one core running at very high use and I seem to be getting my top framerates much more of the time.

 

I knew DCS mainly uses a single core, so I was surprised to see this use being effectively duplicated on another virtual core with HT switched on. Anyone else seen similar things?

I didn't bother with checking individual cores, but I once did the test of running DCS with HT off and my fps were (on average) about 5% higher ... so, I leaved the HT disabled on the Bios of my PC (on AMD it is called Simultaneous Multi-Threading, or SMT for short) and have run it that way ever since.

 

 

Edit: Actually it was 4% .. here found my report back then: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3962733&postcount=8
