It's difficult to say. Use a frameskip of 1 or 2 and keep an eye of task manager until CPU use reaches 85-90%
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
Actually for that fast of a CPU I'd start with a frameskip of 0 and then adjust cycles as eL_PuSHeR describes. If you're playing a newer game and it just won't run fast enough, then try raising the frameskip to 1 or 2.
the prob is any game i run it is always at cpu usage of 100% 😠 i reckon it's xp cause whenever i ain't running anything it's at 0 (with background applications on) -.- 🙄 😒
