How to interpret the Task Manager stats
I am trying to figure out where is the bottleneck in my system, namely disk I/O or CPU, for my video editng tasks.
I newly loaded Win 10 Pro on a SSD drive, but found no difference in the final encoding performance, whether I put all the Video files on the SSD or a SATA 3 HD.
So I ran the Task Manager, but was just as clueless, as the data does not make sense.
I look the CPU Performance, it was never fully utilised. I presume the BLUE graph is the speed of the CPU, it varies when I change the Power setting to Balanced, and fixed at 3.2Ghz when High Performance was set. But the GREEN graphs utilitisation ( I think ) was never more than 40%, I thought OK may be it is disk bound
But looking at the disk performance whether the files are on SATA 3 HD or SSD, they were never utilized to more than 10% or so.
So it seems that the system is not disk I/O or CPU bound, what can it be?
The system was newly booted, and no other Apps are running. In fact, the Task Manager is not showing anything else that is remotely significant in the background.
Can someone help to explain this, or am I missing some other parameters?
cheers
