It looked like core 2 got the most usage, that was maxed almost all the time, 3 and 4 went up and then down and 1 was always low. Total usage was between 30 and 79, but never over 79.

 

What you're trying to do is probably better done with two comps networked with WideFS, have the main one do the main view, the second one the spot view. At least I think that's how it's done.

I just tried opening a second view in my single screen setup and got a big perf hit, so it's not about resolution. You're overloading the main scheduler IMO, which runs on core 1 (the second core ) if you have an AffinityMask of 14

That's disappointing, might just have to go back to using one screen.

Using more screens usually hits performance really hard. That is not a joke.

 

I was really thinking hard if I want to go from 1920 -> 2560, 24inch to 27inch. I went, and I got hit, by approx 15-20%, and that is a lot. Now what does the 1600 -> 3840 do. Do your own math.
