Huh would you look at that a helpful post that helps people in general discussion. Good for you. Keep up the good help
thank you hopefully people will try it, quite a few games do not like hyperthreading/smt. Tarkov, black desert online just to name a few, and now we know that New World can be added to that list to disable it.
Not able to disable SMT as its greyed out for me, any idea why?
no there wont be a tick but you should see some of the CPU below have no ticks something like this
also go CPU Affinity > Always > Disable SMT
I’m not sure sorry, perhaps your CPU may not have SMT, if you look up yours it should say whether or not if it does
Can you show me your “current” affinity please?
ty, I’ve read many times that disabling CPU 0 might improve performance in some games. Did you try that?
i have not but i have heard the same, don’t recall what games it was for though.
Something else i do in all games these days is i end task on the crashhandler process too, in Overwatch it caused stutters so i end crashuploader process by default in all games now.
@Tanwen_Draig Do you repeat the process of ticking disable smt on “current” every time you open the game?
I would rather deactivate SMT completely and use CO in BIOS or PBO2 Tuner to set -30 on each core.
Most CPUs should be able to go that low with deactivated SMT.
I wouldn’t do that, if you don’t know exactly how your CPU is tied to the cache.
As far as i remember for Ryzen you loose out some cache if New World can only run on 7 cores.
PS:
But if you got a ryzen with 2 or more CCX I would limit New World to the cores of only 1 CCX if it got 6 or more cores.
I bet you’ll get a nice performance improvement.
Going to try it, ty.
Ryzen 5 5600X
Only 1 CCX, so you’re fine.
I think Amazon needs to urgently work on the performance here. Maybe we will also hopefully get the previously announced DirectX12 update soon.
I don’t think hyperthreading is causing the stuttering. My CPU doesnt’n support h/t , yet having stuttering a lot
not sure if you would have this setting if you do not have hyperthreading, but if you have a Nvidia graphics card you can go in to Nvidia control panel and set “threaded Optimisation” to off. and see if that helps at all.
yes hopefully, pretty insane how we don’t even have a real Full screen mode, basic stuff.
