This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
