Optimizing core scheduling for AMD Ryzen 7 9700X?
Whenever I hit the crowded markets, the physics engine would lag, making character movements look like a weird slow-motion movie. The Ryzen 7 9700X single-core boost was fluctuating wildly between 4.2-4.8GHz, so it couldn't keep up with the complex collision calculations. I tried the Windows High Performance power plan, but the CPU temp shot up to 92℃, which was way too risky for a long-term fix. I decided to enable PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) in the BIOS and set the Curve Optimizer to -20. In Cinebench R23, my single-core score jumped from 2100 to 2250, and the town physics became noticeably smoother. I actually had a few random reboots under low load with -20, so I backed it off to -15 for perfect stability. The CPU now stays between 68-76℃ with a very linear performance curve. I used the motherboard software to switch the profile from Balanced to Enhanced, and the scheduling is finally sorted.
