Because if i can play doom eternal at 4k max settings and never go below 60 FPS then it can't be a hardware issue because i don't think GZDOOM or KEX engine is more intensive than id tech 7 is it?

As I said before, GZDoom and KEX exercises different components in your computer - the CPU, rather than the GPU.

And as I also said, seeing only fractional CPU usage does not tell the whole story. The CPU is multiple cores and if a single core bottlenecks it will still only show partial usage. Just as a simple illustration of what I mean, if Core 1 of a dual-core CPU is 100%, then the total usage will show 50%. If Core 1 of an 8-core CPU is 100%, then the total usage will show 12.5%.

How to send a capture to show you want every core is doing when the freeze happens because i don't see 1 core hitting 100% when it happens maybe a little over 50% but i don't think that would cause it to freeze would it?

Okay i think i figured it out possibly i was looking around the system and saw that GZDOOM's priority was set to low when i set it to normal it seemed to fix it and i saw no freeze when i started GZDOOM apparently when set to low priority it don't get the Resorces it needs fast enough i guess.

I'll make a new thread if the freezing comes back.
