Robert C. Maehl edited this page Dec 14, 2020 · 1 revision

To do what NotCPUCores does using the "Details" tab of Windows Task Manager:

  1. Find all the processes of the game or application you want to ensure gets the maximum resources
  2. For each process, use "Change Priority" to change it's priority to something higher, be careful with Realtime!
  3. For each process, use "Change Affinity" to change what cores you want it to run on, leave some for other processes though!
  4. Find all the processes that aren't the game or application you want
  5. For each process, use "Change Affinity" to change them to cores you left for other processes in step 3
  6. Every so often follow steps 1-5 again to ensure new processes don't touch the system resources you gave to your game or application

Additionally using the "Services" tab of Windows Task Manager:

  1. Find Services that you won't be using during gameplay such as the Print Spooler (used for printing) and stop them.

Additionally, using the "Power Options" in Control Panel

  1. Change your Power Plan to "High Performance"
