Windows 7 possible games fps increase tip(disablecoreparking

Post by Versus »

Was reading some threads on varous hardware forums when i was doing hardware research for my future guildwars2 system which i want to run at 60 fps minimal even with 500 people on screen at once in WvWvW :P

Disabling the core parking feature in windows 7 might help more people i seen lots of thread of various mmorpg clients where it helped and other games. Seems to help more with very high end (gpu) systems especially though where sometimes you cpu limited.
Core parking is an energy saving feature of windows 7 that disables an core in short when it isnt' needed it wakes up the core when it is needed auto but this can cause stutter/lowfps dips for some people.

I seen threads where it helps some people with lowfps dips/microstuttering/in swtor/bf3/wow and various other games.
This is different from affinity setting/ht on/off fixes.
No guarantees if it works for you but you can always change it back

Here's how

I tried this and it works great inside the games (SWtor/D3).

But I have been gotten a lot of random blue-screens, maybe one every 2nd day. Could it be because I changed this, or is it because I have a copied windows?
And you thought you knew pain...
