Why does my laptop struggle so much while multi tasking if the i7 quad core cpu is always below 20% utilized. I remembered being amazed by how fast everything was when buying a new pc or laptop. That hasn't been the case in the last 5 years. Still same slow. Especially when trying to browse vgchartz with a game running in another window. At least GPUs are still getting better. |
I think a lot of it has to do with developers not utilizing features and multi-threading the way they could. The hardware performs a lot better than most are willing to exploit for the added cost and time But, yeah, I agree with you.
That and the console friendly industry turn we''ve seen in the past decade, along with technical aspects, there are also a lot of atrocious interfaces and menu systems in modern games and many ports are very cheap and poorly made.
