STRESS Testing the cpu in the background fix's all performance issues - PLEASE STICKY

[IIIRaMBaMIII]

As silly as this sounds, if i run a cpu stress test in the background the games runs flawlessly. I am using Kombuster cpu burner test which is on the MSI afterburner. I pick a 4 thread test, which keeps heat and overall usage around 20 to 30% before starting forza and when i do the benchmarks, loading and gameplay is rock solid.

I can replicate this everytime and have been playing the game for the last few days with this random "fix".

My system:
I5-13600k (OC 5.4) with hyper-threading
RTX 4070 ti
installed on NVME and new windows install 2 weeks ago (windows 10)

Please try this out if you have stuttering or loading issues (mainly stutters) and let me know how you fair. Cinebench works too, but far too intensive, Kombuster is perfect.

Turn 10 needs to know this, so please sticky

new dirvers did not help me much without the stress test still, tried again today

dont do what this person said. its nonesence. stressing your cpu while the game is not ptimized for pc but console is the dumbest thing i seen yet.

Complete nonsense. You have an issue with your CPU not ramping up to it's correct speed is all.

lol its locked overclock, can run every other demanding game maxed out, not to mention my power settings are all at max with no dips on voltage or clock speeds in HWinfo64.

Either way it ended up being the e-cores (thanks to actual helpful people on here), disabling them runs the game perfectly, but ya its my computer right?! because turn 10 and Microsoft don't know how to optimise a game to use the proper cores for gaming. Look at Star Citizen.

Your problem with the 13600k is still being on Windows 10. You should be running Windows 11 with that CPU. Windows 10's CPU thread scheduler doesn't know what it's doing with the e-cores.

Agreed, i will be updating to windows 11 this weekend. Seems like the windows scheduler is considerably better on Win 11.

Thanks again!

I have the same issue lmao if I have a youtube video going on in the background no stutter. without its a stuttery pile of garbage lmao

Not sure how true this is. Microsoft has made claims of this nature, but most independent testing has shown the differences between the two OS's to be negligible in most scenarios.

lol i know, 30 years of pc gaming and this was the first time in my life i had to stress the system more to get better FPS in a game; until the disabling e-cores fix. I found out about it cause i was downloading RDR2 in the background and fired up forza only to realise it was running great. The moment the download finished, it was stutter city. I mean, if you prefer to have e-cores on still, the cpu burner stress test is still a great remedy until turn 10 and microsoft get their $#@& together lmao.

I haven't had any stuttering with e-cores enabled, and I have a i9-13980HX.
