Mostly stuffs with high floating point requirements because I am most curious about something. Discord and standard browser would not be sufficient and am uncertain if Rimworld would stress the cpu much. Perhaps with many colonists. Do not know anything about Bannerlord. Most developers avoid long floats. I am wondering with my request if any highly specific cpu load can cause additional stuttering or induce stuttering on non FX cpus, especially Ryzen.
