Yeah thats what I thought too idk how to really go about fixing it other then turning everything relaly ***ing low and I feel like I don't need to do that
Well kinda hard to determine without the proper specs but one question did you update the mobo bios.Usually when a board is released they add bios for various reasons.Mine actually sorted my cpu utilization out aka stability.There is some frame drops in some area's and sometimes there's just frame drops for nothing.But i do get descend playable frames.
On to ryzen as i see a lot of people debating over this cpu.Well price to performance here in South Africa the amd's a much better buy.Performance is top notch for the price you pay(cept for Threadripper that's 15k
and the i9's not even worth the price
)from the 1500x up is pretty descend don't waste money on the 1200.If i had to build a 1500x it will cost me 5-6k for whole pc(excluding gfx/hdd's)Most games use up to 4 cores nothing more.pw runs on 1 core if i am not mistaken.Regarding heat my 4170 doesn't overheat at all it all depends on how you set it up i actually build my own cooling solution for my pc and i am idling at 24 and on a stress test it goes up to 45.
Funny thing is game was released when core2duo and x2 amd's was out so idk why they didn't optimize it then.
Last but not least i have an old core2duo E3300 2.5ghz(clocked to 3.4ghz gotta love the old cpu's with custom coolers
)and amd athlon x2 4400 2.2ghz(clocked to 2.9 ghz)both running on a 9800gt and they run a lot better than this pc..The specs of pwi are way wrong tho as i'll like anyone's a$$ that runs this on a 1ghz pc with an ati 8400 or so gfx card.
PS:I am not using in game fps meter i am running 3rd party frame capture software.
P.P.S Amd 4400+ was released 2005 before pw altho the board i am using was released earlier but pw was already in development they should've waited on release date and optimized it.
