NVIDIA driver slowdowns

[spydrct02]

This whole thing is only half-relevant to the whole topic. You're discussing how Hyperthreading/dual cores work, and I was originally talking about total processor usage. That's assuming your question was a reply to the last bit of my post about the DirectDraw processor usage, anyway. You have yet to actually tell me what you were even replying to.

When I said it's using all of your processor up, that means your processor, not one of the cores. Sure, you could estimate both cores' CPU usage, but it's much easier and reliable going by the CPU usage that's said in the processes tab. That is the CPU usage I was mentioning, the one in the processes tab - the actual total CPU usage, not the split CPU usage. Where you're confused is you're thinking each graph represents a processor. Those graphs are your two cores; both cores equal your processor.

If you still don't get what I'm saying, just take "both" as an answer to your question. If you have it set to a single affinity, then the there is no need for the question. Either way, we're getting nowhere by this whole thing. Maybe you should try my tests and post your results so you have something to compare with everybody else, instead of saying something subjective like, "it runs great."
