I’m trying to figure out why my cpu usage is so low when playing any game on my pc (1/3%) and seen this in device manager when checking to see if my cpu drivers are upto date, surely it shouldn’t be duplicated like this right? can anyone help? much appreciated

Hello mrmaynoo, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

The 13600k has 20 threads so that is what you are seeing here. The 6 performance cores have 2 threads each with hyper threading (or whatever Intel calls it now) and the 8 efficiency cores have a single thread each.
could it be your game is not cpu intensive? why does it matter? your game lagging?
