RTX 3080 FE Issue

Using more than four cores did not hurt me a bit. It helped, but VERY little. If I disable HT on my i7-6950X and set affinity to four cores only, I get around 100-144fps depending on where in Navezgane I am. If I stand still in one place and enable the other six cores, I gain 6-10fps. Not worth anything unless I was REALLY low on framerate, like sub-30fps. I play in 2560x1440, true/native 2K. Now, when I take it down to three cores, I drop to 50-60fps. Two cores gives 29-36fps. One is in the teens. What this tells me is that more cores do indeed help, so long as they are real cores and NOT secondary threads.

I just leave HT on normally and play with all 20 logical CPUs and still get 100-144fps. I believe the PCI-E bus gets saturated at times though, hence the drop. I also normally just leave my desktop on the standard 60Hz refresh rate and thus Unity selects 60Hz since it is less capable than the original Quake, so I get a solid 60fps the entire time I play.

 
Just popped into this thread to thank @Naz for his tips. I had actually given up on the low FPS issue a few days ago after trying a lot of things on the web (and not trying things that sounded like the author/vlogger didn't know what he was talking about). 

I have a 3080Ti, overclocked (and quite a high overclock too), 8086k overclocked (Again, 5.1Ghz all cores so not fantastic, but still above average),  I was getting anything from >100fps, to mid 20s during a horde night. Tuning the shadows and reflections a bit, I could keep it to high 30s, even though the Nvidia Overlay said I was rarely using over 30% GPU.

Set the affinity to only the last 4 physical cores as per Naz's links, and so far, I've cranked everything back up to maximum including shadows and reflections, and I'm averaging 80fps, with no drops below 58fps yet. GPU is now averaging in the mid to high 40s%. I haven't had a horde night yet though, but I'm pretty hopeful for a much smoother experience.

Cheers @Naz. Appreciate the heads up.

Overclocking can hurt your performance in many modern engines, unless you go to the extreme. Have you tried going back to stock (save your OC settings first) and seeing how it plays?

any tips to try affinity with Macs?)))

Unfortunetly I haven't used a mac since like 2001, so I have no idea how you would do it on a mac. Looking at Google seems to suggest it is possible, but might require some c++ or python. However for all I know it could be done as easily as Windows, I just don't have any experience in mac os. 

 
In Linux you can do it from the shell. I assume since OSX is just BSD (with the security ripped out) which is fairly close to Linux you can do it there.

Code: 
taskset -c 0-3 /whatever/7daystodie.dmg
Something along those lines. If you want to  set it AFTER 7 Days is running, use the PID.

Code: 
taskset -cp 0-3 12345
Where 12345 is the PID for the executable.
