Fences much slower on a Ryzen 2700x than on a Intel I5 8500

from Stardock Forums

i noticed that Fences is much slower on a Ryzen 2700x than on a Intel I5 8500. I think thats beceause Fences is only use the internal GPU and not the dedicated one?

How can i change that? the Ryzen 2700x hasn't a internal GPU and the new high end intel CPUs whitch will come this year too.

Would be interesting whether this is actually the problem (although from a programming perspective, why should it only use iGPU and not for example just "GPU0"?). I would have to install a trial version on my wife's computer to test if it's faster on her computer (Skylake) vs mine (Ryzen3) ...

I just built an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X with 6 Core, 12 Thread Processor, and a Radeon RX570 video card, and Fences runs fine on my end. :)

Prior to that, I was running an Intel i5 Quad Core, with onboard video, and it ran good too, but then, I'm just running a single video card too. |-)

GeForce Overlay is off for me anyway and in driver options I don't have a selection for other GPUs as I only have one installed.
Ryzen 3900X + 2080Ti and a fresh install (no object desktop software / old versions before) so I don't think raw machine performance is the issue.

I am on Ryzen 2600 with just GTX 1050 Ti. And Fences running without issues. I don't install Nvidia Experience though. I don't need it. Maybe what is fine for me, slow for someone else.

Thank you,
