One stuttering issue solved

[oldethumper1955]

Im one whos been fighting the famous micro stuttering issue in ETS2. Ive tryed everingthing i could find on threads and net. A few of the fixed was a bit too hard for me to attempt at, so didnt try them. Anyway, ive been monitoring my CPU and GPU of course like anyone, and with settings they was running in ETS2 at apr. 40 -60% and frames good enough to not cause stutter. I knew all the time my PCs bottleneck was the CPU (Intel dualcore 2.8mhz) at the same time i read that ETS2 only uses 1 core, so though im ok with it. But, the micro stutter was allways precent, it didnt matter was i driving in town or country, it would pop up, as to me it seemed random actualy. I was watching background apps etc etc etc.
Anyway, long story short, i bought a quadcore CPU (i5 4590) and slapped it into the rig. Thats all i did and ETS2 is running as smooth as silk.
My question is, if ETS2 runs only 1 core, why did this fix it?
Yes, i dont understand these things, so im asking. Gramps wants to know.

You never actually told us what your old CPU was, just dualcore 2.8, so without that we cannot compare the two cpus to see the difference.
You old 2.8 dual core is most probably 2nd generation where the i5 4590 is fourth generation a lot of difference between the two.
Certain cpus perform better in single core usage than other cpus, you really cannot compare like for like.
Do you use the integrated graphics or have you a dedicated graphics card, all of these things can make a difference.

That limit was many updates ago, not anymore

Thanks, thats the answer i needed. I now can see in "hardware monitor" that all 4 cores are in use with ETS2.

the old cpu was a Intel Celeron 2.8. My GPU is nvidia gtx1050. But anyway its all good now. No micro stutters.
