Game Performance Could This Be The Answer To A Lag Free Game?

The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Just tried it. Initial loading of the game is about the same (I have a lot of CC), but once the game is loaded, it is very smooth. Soooo, I decided to try it on Call of Duty: AW. Wow! Huge difference. The videos that play during boot up actually finished before all the maps were loaded. Before the videos were jerky and the sound was messed up. I'd say this actually works very good. I don't see a huge increase in CPU temperature, so I'm not too concerned about leaving it enabled all the time. As far as energy efficiency, hell, I have 6 PCs running all the time, one more using an additional few watts of power isn't going to matter at all.

Yes, loading was about the same for me as well. But after that it was smooth sailing. Especially when in Buy mode. AND in CASt, those thumbnails usually take forever to load with lots of lag. I could actually scroll through them now without the worry that the game would crash!

Have not seen major differences. The game still loads the same. New game and world, so maybe after awhile it will make a difference.

I tried it last night and noticed a HUGE difference. Things were much smoother.

Against my better judgement, tried it. No difference at all. Although I think I had already set the power profile using Windows 10 power management to maximum performance, so it may have already had CPU parking disabled, or that Win10 just schedules CPU tasks in such a way that CPU parking makes no difference. I did have a small but noticable improvement generally with Sims 3 after going from Win7 to Win10.

Ah well, the search for the holy grail of unlagginess continues.

My power profile was "Balanced", so I set it to High Performance and disabled the parking with that program. Hmmm... Hard to tell if it made any difference, to be honest.
