The specs of my laptop are i5 12450HX, 12GB RAM, RTX 2050 $GB VRAM, Gen4 SSD, Win11. And how long should it take it general to install it because I already cancelled it once when it took around 1.5 hours. It was using the whole 100% of my CPU which kinda scared me
So is it normal for it to utilize 100% of CPU for extracting RDR2?
The repacks are compressed, so your computer has to do a lot of work decompressing the files. As long as you’re downloading from the real website https://fitgirl-repacks.site/, then you should be good. It’ll just take a while.
Is the installer not showing a progress bar?
It is showing progress but the 100% usage of cou scared me
Why does that scare you? Your laptop would be designed to handle the thermal load of the CPU running at full tilt. As well, modern CPUs “boost” up to their full power level, so if they start to overheat they can “throttle” back down to prevent any issues. Worst case, they will shutdown before damage occurs.
Otherwise, yeah, running at 100% all day, every day can shorten a CPU’s lifespan. But doing it for a couple hours here and there is gonna be fine. You get similar usage if you’re rendering a 3D scene with blender, for example.
Nah, you’re good. Just an efficient algorithm that’s doing its job.
What kind of compression are they using if a H tier 12th gen i5 is running at 100% usage? I doubt a laptop with that tier of a CPU has that great of an SSD that can saturate the CPU. Unless it’s single threaded or something.
They put a lot of work into the repacks to make them as small as possible. Generally compression algorithms are chosen with a balance between compression and cpu requirements. Repackers don’t care about that. They make them as small as possible with every trick known to man.
And if the algorithm used can be decompressed with all available cores in parallel it’s great as well.
fitgirl should make CUDA powered unpacking lol
man THAT’S why that happens!
