If you have 32 threads (16 cores) available in task manager, it is in Content Mode. If you have 16 threads (8 cores), it is in Game mode. But there are far more settings than that... There should be a program on your system call Ryzen Master to change settings. Just be warned that there are some issues with changing between them. There is a massive amount of information to learn about, before diving in and changing or switching modes. And you better have another boot device handy incase it doesn't work. I suggest you google "AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x Game Mode Benchmarked" and read the very long article on Toms Hardware about the differences, just as a primer to what the settings may effect. Learning BcEdit to manually change boot info from the DOS prompt is a good idea as well. It is a very odd cpu to set up, to say the least. There are some issues with installing the Ryzen Master programs on 1809 + if they are not already on there as well, but it has been a few years since I messed with a 1950x and I don't recall what those issues exactly are... Most of that should be detailed in the motherboard support pages on order of install, requirements, etc.. The 1950x is a great processor, but it is more than a bit odd at the same time.... Some even claim the promote baldness.....

Thank you for that and it answers one question, my system is in Content Mode as I definitely have 32 threads.  The system appears to work well so I think I will need to do a lot or research before I start playing with the CPU.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
