I'm running stripped butt naked windows and ecores still help substantially. Most exhaustive testing I've done is in warzone. Disabling ecores drops 1% lows from 190-200 to 120. Cyberpunk Spiderman and TLOU take a substantial hit with ecores off even in averages.
Are you running stripped barebones WIN10 or WIN11 and which version meaning 21H2, 22H2, 23H2 or whatever?
And what video card and what resolution you play at?
I had mentioned Cyberpunk in my original post, but should omit it as there was one thing from someone on Youtube who complained about it but no other mentions so probably more than fine.
Though Star Citizen is well knowns for problems and beta, and it is bad software and a joke so will give e-cores a pass for that issue.
Now Elden Ring only a 2 year old game have heard many complaints about that one with e-cores and that one concerns me legitimately as that is an AAA game and relatively new at that.
And how are your thermals with 13900K and clock speeds you get on both P and e cores and cooler you use and CPU power consumption? And do you have HT on or off? I need to keep that in mind as well to amount of heat dumped into the case especialy contending with also a hot RTX 4090 if I decide to make the move.
