This is unrelated to APB not using the system to it's full potential. The GPU still downclocks under low loads. It can help but for me it doesn't do anything. With Hyper Threading enabled (12 threads) it's over 20% load. Most likely it's 2 rendering threads plus other threads for light loads like network and audio. 2 cores are near maxed, with the others having some load. In a full district, an old X5690 6 Core CPU sees over 40% CPU utilization with Hyper Threading disabled. APB does not have high enough graphics settings.ĪPB might not be optimized for multi-core CPUs, but it does use more than 1 thread. It works for some people, because it keeps the GPU at a high enough load to not lower the clock speed. On tech and game forums, I see lots of people recommending increasing the graphics settings in games to increase the framerate. Your game stutters and you die as a result. One moment you're looking at an open area, 1ns later a grenade explodes and your GPU is under heavy load. The driver automatically adjusts the clocks based on the GPU load. Not seeing max clocks means lower average framerates and in some cases stuttering and freezing. It's not an issue for everyone but it is a known problem. APB's performance is better scaled on the CPU side of things with high IPC (instructions per clock) and high frequency (GHz) while APB runs on a 1 core 1 thread idea. I would disregard what has been said above as it's not needed to force your card to run higher or at a constant frequency then intended.Įven running APB on 2560x1440 only yields only a 23% GPU usage. APB doesn't make use of the GPU much at all so you won't see max clock usage.
