I do not think so, 3D heavy games usually have a single render thread which is feeding the GPU with info about what is to be displayed at any point in time. This thread is what is limiting the fps in a CPU limited scenario. Overall and single core cpu utilization will still show moderate values...

Ok, understood. But this means the metrics provided by HWinfo cannot be really used to identify a CPU bottleneck in games. Basically I always get an average CPU utilization. Changing the cpu affiliation is not really an option, as games will spawn 100 or more threads which will then all end up...

That's understood, however I was hoping/expecting that HWinfo is giving my the load of the busiest thread in the "max cpu/thread usage" reading. As this is exactly the number one would need to determine whether a game is cpu or gpu limited on a specific system.

I am looking for something similar ... figuring out whether my CPU is capping at its single thread performance. I think that that most cpu meters or whatever you may want call them don't give you good values, as a thread will be switched between cores and therefore core utilization will not...
