WoW - BFA 4K DX12 CPU Multithread Optimization Test
Testing out the new Patch 8.1 Direct X 12 and CPU optimizations. While I do not show it on screen, GPU use is now far more pronounced than in Legion with the Titan X Pascal regularly going between 40-120% utilization, scene depending. I still believe WoW is only using 15-20% of my CPU tops since I have a 7940X clocked at 4.5 Ghz. On traditional machines I would imagine a far more significant core usage scenario.
Keep in mind I chose Tanaan Jungle in WoD (although I could have chosen Highmountain or somewhere else in Legion zones) that has the significantly increased height allowance compared to the original zones such as Orgrimmar.
The TLDR I can say is I can run Preset 10 on the new system at the same original FPS if not better, and with the DX12 and CPU adjustments in Patch 8.1, I can see much further maximum detail at the same framerates. A win-win to me!
