Process Lasso Worth a Purchase for I/O Priority?

[DanielGadson]

I've recently installed the free version of Process Lasso to further optimize my 4090 / 5800x3D system for VR gaming and have been very pleased so far with the results. I used a shared profile I found online that deprioritizes background system tasks, and I've manually added folders where I keep my games to toggle Performance mode on and favor even-core sets for my CPU. I've gotten a noticeable uptick in performance from using these settings on the free version, but I also see people suggesting to set high I/O priority for games in PL but that's not available on the free version. Have folks found it's worth the ~$30 or so sale price for unrestricted Process Lasso to get the I/O Priority functionality to further optimize for gaming?

For a system with a fast NVMe SSD like yours, the benefits of I/O prioritization may not be as significant as an old mechanical hard drive, but they're still very real. You won't necessarily get a noticeable FPS boost, but you're making game performance more stable and reliable, which is important for VR.

It is a fascinating experience indeed. The advanced virtual reality technologies are really worth experiencing for the shared cost. The I/O Priority feature really sets Process Lasso apart.

I dug into what people are saying + what the documentation shows, and here's a breakdown of whether getting the paid ("Pro" / unrestricted) Process Lasso for I/O priority is likely to be "worth it" for a 4090 / 5800X3D system, especially in VR gaming.
