Hello,
I have a system that worked well up untill now,
but then from one day on the other
I noticed a drastic performance decrease in games.
So after some testing I found out only 3 out of my 8 CPU threads
(so 2 cores out of 4 with one thread disabled on the second one)
are actually shown and being used.
This caused a bottleneck between the CPU and GPU.
And that's where the performance decrease comes from.
So the issue is known but the solution is yet to be found.
I have looked for settings in the BIOS but all my settings
were right and all cores were enabled, so was hyperthreading.
PC Specifications:
CPU - Intel Core I7 860 @ 2.8 Ghz (Stock)
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7870
PSU - 750w
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
I have tried many things so far, including:
-BIOS Settings + Defaults
-Temperature monitoring
-Usage monitoring
-msconfig.exe settings
-stress testing
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
-Senne-
