I need assistance with a specific game.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but I could really need your assistance. I have a good-spec CPU, an Intel i5 13500, and a GPU, a 4070.

I play a game called Maplestory; it's an old game that essentially runs on RAM, the CPU, and other hardware. Some of the newer Intel 12 and 13 generation processors don't seem to work well with the game; in my opinion, older processors perform better and AMD works great.

Could you please provide me with some advice on how to perhaps disable some cores or any other tips? Maybe try designing the game CPU to function like an AMD X3D or similar to the old Intel CPUs, if you can afford to do so.

You can experiment with the number of cores. Since older games like Maplestory tend to benefit from single-threaded performance, using 2 or 4 cores might be ideal. This method will ensure that Maplestory doesn't try to use more cores than it can handle, reducing potential stutter or poor performance.

Thanks for your reply!

Find the option for CPU Core Management. If necessary, turn off the E-cores (Efficient Cores) and retain solely the P-cores (Performance Cores). Reduce the number of threads by adjusting Hyper-Threading if necessary.

To optimize Maplestory on your Intel i5 13500, try disabling some CPU cores via Task Manager by setting the game's affinity to use fewer cores, ideally 2 or 4. Run the game in compatibility mode for an older Windows version, lower the graphics settings, and consider using software like Process Lasso to manage CPU usage.

Use tools like MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to keep an eye on CPU and GPU usage while playing. This can help you identify any bottlenecks.
