Summary
Describes an issue where the CPU Activity data shows a different value than what is observed on Task Manager or other 3rd party monitoring applications
Description
When a game or application starts and runs the CPU Activity metric in the Arc Control overlay shows very low CPU usage compared to what Windows Task Manager or other apps such as MSI's Afterburner.
Resolution
This is expected behavior, and it occurs because Intel® Arc™ Control uses instantaneous CPU utilization while other applications, including Task manager, use a rolling average, thus resulting in different real-time readings for the same metric.
