Unless I'm misunderstanding it it permanently sets core 0 to literally only do TF2. So you probably will want to undo the options when not playing tf2.

(context: I made that infographic + didn't expect it to get super-huge b/c I was just asking if most of my info was correct, which I still don't fully know because beyond people just saying "it's bad" there's not much in the way of real statistics involving most of this, which is sort of a nuisance)

switch *.exe back to 0-3 once you're done playing tf2, that just gives the rest of yr processes core 0 back

i tried this yesterday and benchmarked it and sometimes i had less fps sometimes more (8 more avg)
i had stutters the whole time, so imo i dont recommend it

what processor and programs are you running?

i5 2500k w/ mumble, foobar, and firefox running hard on the other cores

also did you get faster alt tabbing or was it just me?

in general, you're only likely to see performance gains if you heavily use anything else. setting other processes to not use core 0 only works out in your favor if any of those programs were going to use it anyways

Yeah, that's what I was saying you'd have to do. Seems like a bitch.

i imagine you use yr processor a lot more seriously than I (or most ppl) do tbf
like gaming is the most strenuous thing I use it for, if yr programming or doing anything more serious you're probably enough of a poweruser that this isn't huge news to you

Been testing this on a pub for like 20 mins. I believe i got a slight fps boost but nothing major. Not getting any stutters or anything like that, so that's good.

Massive gains (lmao)

i'm not caring about fps since i got more than enough, but does this help input lag/mouse lag in any way, shape or form or is op just equivocated?

i tried doing this to csgo
definitely lost fps

honestly it felt like less input lag but that may have been placebo

i think csgo is better optimized for multicore processing, so you might be hurting yr self there

the input lag is really hard to tell, but the Alt Tab switch time went from ~45 seconds to ~2

sam rudich: how?

sam rudich: my temps and shit are fine, did yr computer just short out?

beware gamers

kept benchmarking this in what I'd assume to be the use-case scenario (bunch of chrome tabs open, a 720p60 youtube video and a 60fps twitch stream running at source), and...

...I'm getting no consistent benchmarks. I thought process lasso when set up was getting maybe less fps variance at first, but now I'm getting more FPS and less variance when I set all the CPU affinities back to default and shut down the core engine.

there's perhaps a chance that process lasso is good if you're streaming (set tf2 and OBS/xsplit to take their own half of your cores), but from the standpoint of an average user, it's likely useless

yeah i think it's only useful if you're running a bunch of stuff along with tf2

if you're like me who don't even alt-tab ingame, it's pretty useless imo
