Anyone Using Process Lasso for Gaming?

I'm wondering if anyone out there is using Process Lasso to get better hit rego, FPS, etc for gaming?

In particular being able to load certain apps to certain logical cores so core 0 isn't overloaded with tasks, etc?

Any ideas?

That's a common configuration. Simply set CPU affinity rules ('Always') on your game processes if you want to keep them off core 0. You'll have to try it out to know if it's effective in your case though.

CPU utilization and core allocation can indeed have an impact on factors like hit registration and FPS. By assigning gaming applications to dedicated cores, such as ensuring core 0 isn't overloaded, you may be able to achieve more consistent performance and reduce potential bottlenecks.

I tested Process Lasso for a bit to see if it could improve my gaming performance. My system has a traditional CPU architecture Intel without separate P-cores and E-cores. I didn't see any significant changes in frame rates or overall performance.

Yes, I've been using Process Lasso for a while now, mainly to optimize my gaming performance. By assigning specific applications to different logical cores, I've noticed a significant improvement in hit registration and overall FPS stability. Core 0 no longer gets overloaded, leading to smoother gameplay and better responsiveness.

Gamers interested in maximizing hit registration and FPS should consider a holistic approach to optimization, including hardware upgrades, driver updates, game settings adjustments, and network optimizations, in addition to CPU core assignment using tools like Process Lasso.

I think there are still people using Process Lasso to play games because it helps improve performance and stability when playing games.

It's crucial to remember that Process Lasso's gaming efficacy can vary depending on a number of variables, such as the particular game, the hardware, and the system configuration. The resource requirements of different games vary, and some might already be optimized to make good use of the system resources.

I use PL, partly in in the hopes that it does help in gaming, though I haven't been able to definitively/objectively tell whether it's helping in my case or not, at least for the Unity-engine FPS I main (Rust). Given the dynamics of open-world FPS games, combined with the fluidity of other factors like drivers, network hardware/drivers/performance (both local and wide networks), it's difficult to find objective, repeatable metrics to measure benefit conclusively. I'm all ears if anyone knows of any.

Is there a way to measure this definitively beyond just general "feel" of whether it's helping or not? Also, is there any difference/benefit to what core it gets put onto? Or would the benefit mainly be it just not being on the baseline "bottom-floor" core 0?

How do you choose which apps to put on what cores? Are the cores uniformly the same, meaning it's merely a matter of finding the least-utilized core to give an app?

If anyone's familiar with Unity FPS games, I'm curious if they have any PL optimizations they set, and/or if forcing "ResizableBAR" alongside PL might help or detract from performance.

I found a recent user's experience re: benefits of Process Lasso improving their game performance on a system struggling with DPC latency issues:
