It's hard to say based on your settings whether you would be CPU or GPU bottlenecked - I would imagine CPU bottleneck but not got first hand experience with that hardware

If you can verify that you are CPU bottlenecked (a single thread maxxed out and/or GPU usage significantly under 100%), then probably yes

Sorry for the late reply, I went and tested it, it seems like the bottleneck is my GPU :/. Oh well. Thanks for the answer nonetheless!

You could probably go a long way to improving that by reducing the anti-aliasing quality - ultra is 8x MSAA, try medium (4x)

Will we see load spread across more threads if available? Given higher corecount CPU's are more mainstream now, or will certain processes just be split up limiting threads used in general? In which case a higher clock speed would be limiting?

Would like to know so I can take my time overclocking specific cores, see what their limits are :D

There is already multithreading in many areas of the game (loading, animation, audio, particles, picking, irradiance, shader compilation, the list goes on...), this change I am talking about is specifically rendering, and it is splitting it into one additional thread, as this is as far as it is possible to go in OpenGL

In an ideal case this would result in 2x maxxed our threads, in reality usually more like a 100% and a 75% (ignoring the other low load threads), with the order (ie main or render thread bottleneck) dependent on settings and quality of OpenGL driver

I see, was wondering because NXT literally only hammers 1 thread and is a serious bottleneck for my GPU.

It'll put 1 thread at 100% no matter what (pushing 144fps on 1440p) yet unable to sustain 144 across the board, with some areas pushing me down to 70-80. Hopefully I'll be able to achieve it with the update.

Might be the best update this year, atleast for me. Once you go 144 you cant really go back to 60...

Well the theoretical max increase is 2x fps, you'd be doing very well to hit that, but you should see an improvement
