Thanks for explaining things, now i know for sure it's related to the old games, i 'fixed'' a few old games(and new casual games ( dated from 2017)īy reducing FPS in Nvidea panel, but those game did use some GPU (10-30%), reducing it for Commandos and Fallout and even for Red alert and command and conquer ( classics) gave negative results, because they only use CPU.Īnyway they ran well on the very old pc ( 100mhz and on Pentium 2 and P3). You can try to limit processor utilization for a given process with some third-party throttling tools. And yes, that is normal when you run old games on a modern hardware That is what you see as an extreme processor core utilization. We would definitely recommend running at 4K screen res and on ultra, before trying any lower. And therefore just roll dud cycles dozens times faster then before. Finding a PC with this gpu or better would return some strong FPS in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. When processors became much faster, spare processor time increased dramatically, but old games still not share it. Armored War Bears, and Anime-inspired psychic school girls join your favorite Red Alert units like Sonic Dolphins, Tesla Troopers, Attack Dogs, and the ever popular Tanya. Because doing so slows down the main process, and spare resources are effectively non-existent anyway. And games were just not designed to share spare calculational resources. A relatively slow core by nowadays standart.

Old code was designed to sqeeze every last bit of the perfomance out of the single processor core. Schwertz: If we are speaking about old games in general, it's not just DirectX but general code design a well. The CPU load is a lot higher on the gog versions cause it has higher resolution options and lots of lag under win 10 on my 9700k then on my old quad core running win7 64 bits.Īnyway the cooling is 400% better on my new setup, and as long as the temps stay low it seems a heavy load is okay according to many search results i got when Googling for high koad during gaming, so i guess i just have to get used that old games put all the load on CPU. This would explain why Commandos games also put a heavy load on CPU under XP and win7, although the load was nowhere as high as under win 10 on my 9700K. So basically it is okay that old games put a load on the CPU because of the old DirectX 3 and 5. Just play old games on the proper operation systems. If you, for some reason, dont want to use BHP, go to Power Option in Windows Control Panel and set it to High Performance. Moreover internal scripting machine of these games is rather hungry for CPU resources as well. Also Fallout s 1 and 2 are DirectX 3 games AFAIR and do most of the graphics work on CPU even when GPU acceleration is available.

From about the moment DirectX 8 was released all strain of the 2d acceleration has been moved from GPU to CPU.
