Cpu usage on quad core on hyperthreaded 2700k?

[decoman 45]

I am wondering how much of my cpu the ArmA 2 game with DayZ uses. I have the impression that it uses a single thread, or half a cpu core on my quad core i7 2700k.

Is this correct? Game seem to run smoothly nonetheless.

Would be nice to know. I have an octa core FX-8120 CPU and Radeon HD 7870 GPU. The game runs at the same fps pretty much no matter what settings I use. I'd like to know how to optimize it, or if perhaps threaded cpus need to be optimized themselves.

I would try setting screen and 3d resolution to screen resolution + antialising off + post processing off
