![]() ![]() I took the thoughts of how I would want an app to work, built something that I thought would be useful, spoke to a few friends about the idea, and then went with it.Īfter I built the program, I spoke to somebody at Valve/Steam, and they agreed that the program would be a good fit. That is how CPUCores was essentially born. I wanted an application where I could just click a button, not worry about technical things, and just immerse myself into the world of gaming. Something where we can just go home after a hard day of work, click a button, and play a game. My goal with CPUCores was to build a program that both myself and my friends would want to use. I have been using cpucores in conjunction with razer cortex and have gotten some good results, such as in gta 5 I am no longer getting dips into the 20s when I have a locked 30fps ![]() Hopefully this helps explain things a bit.Įdit: Cleaned up the thread to keep it on topic with answering the OP's question. The affects of CPUCores have shown for many users to be a dramatic increase in FPS, as well as a reduction of FPS drops/bottoming-out. > With the effect of something like this being minimal to none But for people who value their time, just want to play games and have fun as best as possible, that is who CPUCores is for.įurther, CPUCores does other things, such as allow per-game hyperthreading selection, core count controlling, pure OS-packing onto a single core, Twitch/OBS streaming software integration/isolation, whitelisting, and more. Yes, a skilled person, with infinite time, and no value on that time, can accomplish anything for a low/free price. To say that a person can "do it by hand" is akin to yelling at somebody for driving a car to work instead of just walking, or for ordering a pizza instead of making one themselves from scratch, or even buying their own clothing. To me, and to the vast majority of those who purchased CPUCores, the software has a real purpose, does it's job exactly as advertised, and does it well. You just click a button and now your game plays better/smoother/as best as your PC can handle. So what does CPUCores do? It does a lot of things mentioned above, does it safely, does it quicky, and does it without a person having to be technical in any fashion. Once I've identified all those unknown Windows processes, it still would take me about 10 minutes of clicking EVERY time I reboot/start a game. Also, this assumes I'm an extremely technical user who is understands these things and is comfortable doing these changes. This assumes I don't mess anything up, cause a blue screen, or my Windows to lock up. So from the very start, that is about 50 minutes of work. Then alt+tab out of the game (sometimes can cause issues), go into Task Manager, and change the game's CPU affinity/priority. If we were to say I'm an extremely fast Googler, then at 1 minute per process, that is 40 minutes. Then I have to Google about 40 processes to figure out what the heck they are, and if it is stable to modify those processes without crashing Windows. If I were to do the above by hand, and this is me, somebody extremely technical, it would take me approx 6 seconds per those processes for about 90 of those processes. That game now has the absolute best case scenario for achieving the highest FPS on that particular system. CPUCores then moves the game's cpu affinity to all CPU cores, minus hyper-threaded cores, minus the Core 0Īll of the above is done with a single mouse click in CPUCores, taking me about 1 second, and it does so without any errors, Windows instability, etc. CPUCores then modifies the game's CPU priority to "Above normal" CPUCores then executes a Steam API to launch a game through Steam directly CPUCores modifies 9 of those processes, setting their CPU priority to "Below Normal" Things that would lead to Windows being unstable. NOTE: There are many processes CPUCores does not touch, such as hard drive processes, mouse software, etc. CPUCores modifies 129 of those processes, moving them to Core 0 CPUCores builds a list of 138 processes By just running CPUCores and clicking "START GAME" it does the following: On my test system, there are 138 processes running in Windows. ![]() Let me break down something I did earlier today: CPUCores and Task Manager are really not even relatable. ![]()
