CPU Scaling and Performance

Using the Windows Task Manager we tin see that Deus Ex: Homo Revolution heavily utilizes two cores of our Phenom II X6 1100T processor while the other four are working at around 20-forty% capacity. Please ignore the 6% CPU usage indicator equally information technology dropped down from around 50% once I hitting ALT+TAB out of the game to grab that screenshot.

The Resource Monitor was used keep an heart on the average CPU usage of Deus Ex: Human being Revolution and here it is reporting an average of 45.five% across the six cores. This is going to cause some real bug for dual-cadre processors.

Overclocking your Core i7 processor is not going to help deliver more operation in Deus Ex: Human Revolution with a single GeForce GTX 580 card. With the Core i7 clocked at 2.0GHz the GTX 580 averaged 73fps. Meanwhile a 90% increment in clock speed for the Cadre i7 immune for just a 5% increase in frame rates.

Processors that only support two-threads do not appear fit to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution every bit our Phenom Ii X2 560 delivered just 44fps. This meant that the Phenom II X2 560 is about 43% slower than a similarly clocked Phenom 2 X4 processor.

The Athlon 2 processors are also pretty useless without their L3 cache as the quad-core Athlon II X4 645 averaged just 51fps. The new AMD A6-Series and A8-Series processors did quite well delivering 67fps and 71fps respectively.

The older Core i5-750 and Core i7-920 processors performed well with 72 and 73fps a piece. The Phenom 2 X4 980 was surprisingly fast with an average frame rate of 79fps making it only slightly slower than the Core i5-2500K and Cadre i7-2600K processors.
