Why is threaded optimization missing from this game?

I bought the ultimate edition, and absolutely love it. At 4k, with my GTX 1080, it looks absolutely gorgeous. However, I can’t understand why, after everything that happened with Forza Horizon 3, there is no threaded optimization in this title. Once again, only a single core is being used in this game, which severely diminishes performance. What particularly baffles me is the fact that for months, this game was advertised to run optimally with a core i5, and yet, even with an enthusiast level core i7 this game is still a stuttering mess.

I really wish this wasn’t the case, because this game is extremely enjoyable. Turn 10, do we need to wait another 8 months for threaded optimization to be added?

Turn10 devs think with only one thread there is no input lag … ROFLOL

This is at least what I heard.

Don’t try to force this piece of software to use some other Core than Core 0. Result is stutter!!
Disable Game Mode for FM7, otherwise: stutter!!
Set your GTX 1080 through nVidia Control Panel to Maximum Performance
Disable on ALL USB-Devices, Controllers and Hubs “Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power”. Do this in the device manager, not in the energy options.

My system is in the sig, FM7 is running smooth on 6020 x 1080.

Geez, that’s so much work for one game! I’ll try it tonight.

Wasn’t the glorious fanfare of Directx12 to stop this kind of thing happening???

On my pc with only Forza running, looks pretty multi threaded to me.

Yeah it was from the demo. It is legit.

https://i.imgur.com/gu6bgkg.png this is from the current version this morning, looks the same. Max settings are used.

Stop being a moron.

All I can see is the 4th block @100% and first one @~80%, everything else is pretty much in idle state.
This is my CPU (I’m sure it is not hard to notice at which point I closed Forza 7): Forza 7 @ i7-6700K - Album on Imgur
Here is an example of FH3: Forza Horizon 3 @ i7-6700K - Album on Imgur

It’s running smooth as you like on my rig Maxxed out GFX, R7 1800X @ 4.1GHz + RX Vega 64 @ 1748MHz core clock and 1020MHz HBM2 = 26.9 min, 73.1 avg 125.2 max @ 6036 x 1080.

Wish the benchmark was longer than 30 seconds though…
