To determine if your computer is effectively utilizing all CPU cores, you can use several methods depending on your operating system:

Windows:

1> Task Manager:

• Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press Ctrl * Shift * Esc
• * Go to the “Performance” tab
• * Under “CPU,” you should see a graph showing usage for each core. If all cores are active, you’ll see activity across multiple graphs (one per core)
• 2> Resource Monitor:
• * Open “Resource Monitor” by searching for it in the Start menu
• * Navigate to the “CPU” tab
• * Look at the “CPU Usage” section to see how much of each core is being utilized.
• macOS:
• 1> Activity Monitor:
• * Open “Activity Monitor” (usually found in Applications > Utilities)
• * Click on the “CPU” tab
• * You’ll see a graph displaying CPU usage. Each core is represented separately. If all cores are in use, you’ll see activity across multiple cores.
• Linux (using command-line tools):
• 1> htop:
• * Install htop if it’s not already installed (sudo apt install htop on Debian-based systems).
• * Launch htop from the terminal.
• * You’ll see a detailed view of CPU usage, including individual core usage.
• 2> top:
• * Run top in the terminal.
• * Press 1 (the number one) to display individual CPU core usage.
• Checking in all cases:
• * Activity Indicators: Most monitoring tools will show real-time activity for each core. If you see spikes or sustained usage across multiple cores, it indicates that your system is utilizing all available CPU cores.
• * CPU Load: A high overall CPU load (close to 100% across all cores) during intensive tasks like rendering, compiling, or running multiple applications simultaneously suggests that all cores are actively used.

By using these methods, you can effectively determine if your computer is utilizing all CPU cores and monitor how they are being utilized. This information is particularly useful for ensuring that your system is performing optimally under heavy computational loads.

3. Select one of the many pre-made categories from the resulting pop-up or simply enter what you’re looking for into the built-in search bar.

4. Click on any of the listed GIFs to instantly share them to the thread. You can also click the star icon in the top-right corner to add individual GIFs to your Favorites, displayed at the top of the GIF box.

You could, of course, share GIFs from anywhere else on the web as well. If you ever feel the need to do so, simply right-click the image, copy the image address, paste it into the message box, and hit enter.

If you have GIFs downloaded to your computer, you can upload these to a thread by double-clicking the plus (+) button inside the message box or clicking the button once and selecting Upload a File.

You don’t have to make do with the GIFs baked into Discord. A custom GIF is likely to get more traction within conversations. Imagine sharing a looping clip of your very own gameplay, for example, or a screen recording guiding your friends through the solution to a problem they’re facing.

Now, there are more than a few ways you can record your screen and export the clip as a GIF. If you’re looking to go from recording to sharing in the fewest steps.

Here’s how to record your screen to a GIF with Jumpshare.

1. Download the Jumpshare desktop app, install it, and sign up for an account if you don’t already have one.

2. Launch Jumpshare and click the GIF button along the top of the interface or hit the Record GIF shortcut (Alt + Shift + 3 on Windows and Command + Shift + 8 on Mac by default) at any time with Jumpshare running in the background.

The good news is that it’s fairly easy to check your monitor’s refresh rate. Sometimes you’ll find there are hardware settings on your monitor that you’ll need to access via the menus but for the most part, you can find out what your refresh rate is directly from Windows.

First, you need to open your Windows display settings:

• Right-click on your desktop and click Display settings
• Scroll down until you see Advanced display settings
• Then scroll down to Refresh rate

This will display the refresh rate your monitor and computer are currently set to. It usually defaults to 60Hz, even if your monitor technically has a higher refresh rate.

If you see a drop-down here click it and see if there are any other options for refresh rate. If your monitor is capable of more then you should be able to select a higher rate from here too. For example, you might be able to choose from 120Hz or 240Hz options.

It’s worth noting that some monitors require certain cables to run at their maximum refresh rate. Depending on your monitor specs you may need either a DisplayPort cable or HDMI cable for the best results. Higher-spec cables like HDM 2.1 (for example) can support higher refresh rates in some instances. But it depends on your PC and the monitor specs.

If you find you can’t access the display settings by the method above don’t worry as there are other options.

You can also access refresh rate settings via Nvidia’s control panel:

• Right-click on your desktop and click the Nvidia Control panel
• Under Display find the option for Change resolution
• From there click the Refresh rate drop-down and select the highest possible setting

Note in Windows 11 you may have to click Show more options to see the Nvidia control panel in the menu in the first step.
