So I bought VorpX a long, long time ago and never really used it much due to the difficulty involved with all the tweaking, but with the new update that eases a lot of that pain I wanted to give it another shot.
I know running games through VorpX is intensive but I wasn’t expecting this. My CPU is an i5 3570k OC’d to 4.2Ghz and I was getting 23FPS in Skyrim with geometry 3D. I noticed my CPU was pegged at 100% usage which wasn’t too strange, but when I quit the game almost immediately (because let’s face it 23FPS sucks) I noticed VorpX control was still using CPU… a LOT of CPU.
Is it normal for VorpX by itself, with no game running, to use 60% of a 4.2Ghz quad core processor? Everything else on my PC was using ~1% or less, and as you can see this leaves less than 10% for the game I want to run. Now how in the world am I going to get decent FPS with that?
Assuming this is normal and expected usage, is VorpX multithreaded and would buying one of the faster Ryzen processors fix this? I was thinking I could set the affinity to VorpX for a few threads on the Ryzen still leaving plenty to play games.
As it stands now, I basically can’t do anything with this.
