Anyone else getting horrible performance on older machines, I hate to say mines an old machine but its a i9 10980xe from 2019, and without the e-core p-core, or 3d cache, I'm finding games that use to run fine are barely holding on. This issue hasn't been a problem since 2016 when the 1080ti was launched, I remember my 1 year old 980ti not able to run anything, but now its the CPU. I ran the intel presentmod that jay recommended in his recent video and yup "CPU busy" was at 40ms and my 3090ti was… See More
at 9ms, CPU was at 87% usage, GPU was at 60%. Of course I understand my CPU is legit 6 years old at this point, but I CAN NOT accept that games that ran at 60 fps ultra LOCKED are now running poorly, 48-55fps. I can accept new games not running well but this has me so upset that I have a system that is my dream build, custom water-cooled and now I'm screwed into upgrading which means I'll have to spend more on an upgrade since I need a new water-block. But now I'm really cautious, I know 13,14 gen had there issues, 12 gen is cheap atm but what if they do the same thing with the new core ultra CPU's without the hyperthreading and games will eventually run horrible on 12-14 gen CPU's... Looking back at the generational improvements, the i7 4790k, i7 6700k, i7 7700k, i7 8700k, i9 9900k, i9 10900k, i9 11900k, all had a small 5-11% increase, then 12 gen was almost 40% 13 gen was 30% above that, and 14 gen was 30% above that.... This just has me so crushed and defeated.... The ONE time I can truly say, I wish I just waited one more year to do my final platform upgrade.... Also I'll always miss the really cool 8 channel memory, just made my system look so cool.....
Must've been before I went to bed. I tried to log on and gave up and just went to sleep. Lol
