Title: Advice on optimizing gaming laptop for performance
Post by: Ironlad714 on May 01, 2026, 10:19:29 AM
I've had Process Lasso for a month or two, but didn't really get too deep into it until this week when I ran into some major issues with performance degrading after poorly optimized updates for my main game (Overwatch). The laptop I use has an Intel Core i7-12700H which comes with 14 cores, 6 P cores with 2 threads each (CPUs 0-11), and 8 E cores (CPUs 12-19) for a total of 20 threads. In order to give myself the best performance in game, I am currently isolating CPUs 2-11 (5 whole P cores) exclusively for games using a System Reserved CPU Set on CPUs 2-11 as well as a regular CPU set on cores (0-1;12-19) that utilizes a RegEx to covering all processes not found within any of my game directories: /^([^,]*,){3}(?!(.*\\GameDir1.*|.*\\GameDir2.*|.*\\GameDir3(?!\\GameDir3Launcher.*)))/
In addition I am working on my ProBalance and SmartTrim settings (screenshots of where I am now attached), the goal being to set up ProBalance to reduce/spread out the load on my non game cores to maximize boost to the P cores while gaming. Like I said Im fairly new to utilizing Process Lasso to this extent so I wanted to know if I was going overkill with any part of my setup or if anyone has suggestions on how to improve them.
