What does "Use only the physical core" mean? is this feature even in the game?

March 5, 2020

As the title says. What is "Use only the physical core"? How does it help? It is suppose to help with increasing fps? I have searched but I still dont quite understand. Something do with processor? I have i7-7700, with this should i turn it on or off? What r the up and downs by turning it off and on?

And right below "Use only the physical core" feature, there is another feature called "Auto RAM cleaner". My question is, r these features actually in the game up and running? Cuz when I hover the mouse around there, a lil msg pops up saying something like "this feature is not in the game yet". But then why would they add on and off option on these features if they werent in the game yet... Plz some clarification would be much appreciated.

And yes I have tried on and off, and I honestly cannot tell the difference.

It might be because it says "this feature is not in the game yet" that it does not change anything even if you try on and off.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but I don't think something that is not yet in the game should work while in-game. It might work outside the game, but I'm not sure.

You should wait once it is working in-game, that way you'll be able to see if there is a difference.

... Is multi-threading. To allow your CPU to utilize all its cores. I'd recommend using that, especially with i7.

Wouldn't recommend using, but everyone has to figure out the settings for themselves in the end. Enabling that just gave me major stutters.

The features are in the game, the "detection box" for when to display that message is just buggy. If you actually have your curser on the text or on the checkbox then it doesn't say that.

I understand this game is still in beta, so u cant expect everything to run smoothly or be fully optimized. But it has been like wat? 5 years now? Im just getting tired of getting stutters during gun fights... I really love playing this game, but pushing more content than fixing the game is fucked if u ask me but hey I dont call the shots here nor do I understand how hard it is for the team behind this game, so enough rant from me.

And for those of u looking for some answers, some might work well for having them on and some might not.

But for those who r still unsure, I highly recommend turn off those features until the game is fully optimized.

Turn off the auto ram cleaner feature and just restart ur game or even ur PC/laptop, this will always help. And once in awhile scan for malwares. Cuz malwares always steal a part of ur RAM.

I7 and I9 have Multithreading, in every physical Core he runs 2 logical ones.

EFT didnt like the Logical Cores, they reduce the Performance, active only physical Cores can increase the Performance.

I got a 4790K and I get better performance with only physical cores turned off

I've found leaving this unchecked is better for me. My processor is a 2 physical core with 4 logical cores (8 threads total). The problem is the logical cores won't get used if I tell it to "only use physical cores". If you have true quad-core or better it's probably best to leave this option enabled.

No, it means to only use the physical cores, not logical cores. If you go into your task manager and click the performance tab, you will see the two values. Logical cores are your cores x number of threads per core.
Disabling this doesn't disable multi-threading, it disables hyperthreading (an intel technology).

Hi dude could you guide me where to find this setting on the pc to "only use physical cores"? Thank you a lot
