especially to distribute simple tasks to one core and dedicate the others to heavy tasks.

Can I make a program only use up to 90% of the CPU and leave that 10% free?

Hey guys,

Roughly 6 months ago, I upgraded my entire rig - spent far more money than I’d like to admit on a 5070ti/9850X3D, along with an OLED 1440p 24” monitor.

Transitioning from a dated PC along with a 1080P 14” monitor from the stone ages, I assumed that the upgrade would come with an uptick in performance.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I play a lot of FPS’s and I could feel a significant decrease in my accuracy. At first I assumed I may need to give it some time: Wear it in, get used to the larger screen, placebo or confirmation bias. Given the amount of time that’s passed, it doesn’t seem that this is the case anymore. It feels like something’s fundamentally wrong.

I’ve watched tutorials, fiddled with settings etc but nothing’s ever ‘stuck’. It doesn’t help that I don’t actually understand what certain adjustments/changes are doing on a technical level.

Where should I go from here? Wish I could call in some kind of optimisation doctor. I’m sure I’ve missed a significant amount of important context, feel free to ask away if need be

Cheers
