Still, even if any thread looks like it's always at 60%, if a load appears and disappears very quickly and gets averaged out on the graph (as it could in an unoptimised or unusual situation) it could still be a factor. I think the only real way to know is to benchmark. You could try underclocking your CPU and see if the performance gets worse, if you really want to know.

  • Did several, the CPU is fine. Of course, it isn't fine when a new game suffers from unpatched memory leaks and unoptimised respurce consumption, which has become the trend rather than the exception - looking at Cyberpunk 2077 for demonstrating to publishers that gamers will buy literally anything out of inertia.
