How do you even code the engine so that added cores lower the performance? Shouldn't the game just use a limited number of cores but perform just as well? It wasn't even a question of SMT. Unless it's somehow related to the turbo clocks and stressing multiple cores for no reason whatsoever, so that with more cores active and at 100%, they obviously can't clock so high. It would be historically bad programming. Years ago there was a game that artificially stressed cores so much that the game itself ended up suffering. I just don't remember which game it was. It was patched, fortunately.

Nice performance all around. 6gb vram usage at 1080p become a norm.

Nice review, I liked the CPU utilisation. Something for me to look into when I'm playing. Hmmm

at 1080 and 4k changing graphics settings makes little to no difference. That's interesting

Yeah it ran great, even on oldies 980ti OC'ed.
I maxed it out, except vram 6gb (just in case) and I could play DSR'd 2880x1620 fine (above 60fps all the time), actually it was very similar performance to RE2 remake or RE7.
