Uodalricus Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just wondering if core parking, or rather core unparking (either via Registry or app, like Bitsum ParkControl or CoderBag CPU Core Parking Utility) has any effect in SWTOR. Win 8 manages core parking a lot better than Win 7, so it is said to be less of an issue there, while Win 8.1 is (?) even better in this regard. If you unpark your cores, did you notice some difference for SWTOR. And what method do you use - registry edit, ParkControl or CoderBag app?

captpickles Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) *if* you have a Amd Bulldozer, piledriver, steamroller based core you will get some *minimal* benefit. If you are on intel anything you will see no benefit. also, if you are win8 as stated, just going to the "power user" power profile sets all cores to 100% availability.

Yeah, I am on i5 Win7 but there are Intel folks who claim to benefit from core unparking, albeit in titles like Planetside 2 and Battlefield 4, that's why I am asking about SWTOR. The Registry edit actually makes Win 7 behave like Win 8 in this regard. Might be worth a try and couple of benchmark runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trintric Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 also, if you are win8 as stated, just going to the "power user" power profile sets all cores to 100% availability. How do you set it as a "Power User Profile"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
