Have you switched to Windows 11 yet? Is the thread director enough, or can I use P Lasso to get better gaming + streaming performance? I had really hoped that my 12600k and 3080 upgrade would finally get me to that "can't tell I'm streaming at the same time" experience. Though I am still chasing this dragon!
@@dighawaii1 Hey nope I'm still on Windows 10 mainly for VR stability however I may switch at some point as most issues have been resolved (so I'm led to believe). I'll probably still continue with Process Lasso though as it gives you great control of core and power usage.
Streaming and playing from my 13700k with Win 11 and it always ran like a dog - massive FPS hit as soon as I loaded OBS. I just heard about Project Lasso and found your video which was really helpful and I'm now at the stage where OBS hardly impacts the game at all. Thank you, sir!
Fantastic video. Thank you very much for the post. I have been live streaming PCVR on Twitch using OBS Studio since July, but recently got my hands on a 7950X at a price I could not resist. I just now have heard about Process Lasso and downloaded it the other day to try out. This video, even though for Intel, has helped me tremendously in learning how to utilize this for a PCVR live streaming computer. I have not yet played around with it and tested benchmarks, but I am comfortable enough to know that I can now do so and understand. Here is to benchmarks!... I also gave you a follow since you are a PCVR content creator. As I am just now starting out as well, I see there isn't too many VR enthusiasts around so I'm glad to subscribe! Keep on bringing the content!
This worked so well for me! I was not able to stream and play Assetto Corsa in VR ( Virtual Desktop ) without stuttering. Now it's so smooth! I7 9TH GEN 6 core, 2070maxq GPU.
@@HamVR Used both in conjunction. AC/0-11, OBS/7-8, Content Manager/10-11, Chrome/9-11, Discord/9-11. I play AC VR through content manager. I have tried to many settings for ACC but it just does not look as good as AC. Its so crystal clear compared to ACC.
3 years play warzone with massive hit on performances when stream with obs. This guide helped me soooo much Thank you bro! I use 13600k 4070ti Now i make obs use only all e cores with x264 Game run’s perfect and stream looks great! Btw - is it good to force work on all e cores or 2-3 e cores is enough?
I would let OBS use all the e-cores to avoid potential stream stutters. 2 or 3 cores could be enough, depends on the OBS scene, filters and transforms you are using.
I just came across this video and have found it very helpful. I also have a 12900k and have noticed that occasionally OBS stated CPU usage will jump from 4-5^ to ~25% however, task manager will show OBS using 60+% and whatever game I'm streaming will chunk to 10 FPS. Hoping Process Lasso will help with this. I can definitely see the benefit of restricting OBS/Discord to E-cores and the game to P-cores, but what do you do with processes like SteamVR? Thank you.
Steam VR is essential for VR performance so I would either try it on P-Cores or leave it as it is. I wouldn't put it on the E-Cores though. I tried putting the Oculus OVRService on the P-cores and it seemed to create VR stutters for some reason.
Not sure if anyone else had this problem when watching your video: when you speak there is an extremely high frequency tone. I'm watching on a Samsung Galaxy S22.
You should disable core parking if you're trying to optimize responsiveness in gaming. It's the biggest difference maker of all, and usually the "bitsum highest performance" that process lasso enables will do this by default.
Is there any real benefit to using process lasso on windows 11 with a 12th gen intel processor ? Does the improvement to the scheduler make the all redundant?
Was using this for a 12600k. Liked Process Sets, been able to set a preferred set of cores, but obviously the free trial runs out. Now you get to pay £20 pound plus per year indeffinately! I will take my chnaces with windows 11 before paying sub fees to this type of product.
Have AMD processor(Ryzen 5600x), and there are no energy efficient cores... In any case great video! If there will be possibility, w8ing for GPU related Video!
Thanks. Btw you don't actually need e-core to make use this software, it's just arguabley more beneficial for those that do. Like Valhalla VR above, you can restrict OBS, Discord, Chrome to specific CPU cores, so that games or any other critical app doesn't get interupted by background apps.
Hi, I stumbled on your video because Oculus is crashing/freezing my new computer randomly. I already fixed it partially by disabling the digital audio drivers from my Nvidia graphics card, as some had noticed those drivers in combination with Oculus were crashing their system. It seem to have become less frequent, time will tell. But I still got a few crashes/freezes. And it always seems to be when Oculus software is on and the hardware is plugged in. Now I found some crashdump files and SystemSettings (somewhere in the Windows folder) and Home2-Win64-Shipping (part of Oculus software), had the most files. Reading these dumpfiles with WinDBG, gives me following: SystemSettings : Unknown exception - code c000041d. Only thing I can find about is something about the app exits because of an 'early thread created by app' Home2-Win64-Shipping : Access violation - code c0000005. Something about access violation, that the app tries to write or read to a memorypoint where it doesn't have permission for. I've got a brand new (self build) pc, for 2 weeks now. It's an i7-13700k, Asus Tug Gaming z690-plus wifi d4, 32Gb 3600Mhz RAM and an Asus Nvidia Geforce 3060 OC dual v2. And all drivers are the latest updates. I've also updated the BIOS and firmware to the latest. It was also necessary because of the 13th gen processor. So after awhil I stumbled upon Process Lasso. Adjusting the CPU affinity for Oculus services seemed to help at first (disabling the E-cores), but then it didn't. Doing such things to OVRServer_x64 brings the whole computer to a crawl. I even tried disabling Hyperthreading, as some post suggested. Yeah, not doing that again anymore. But I think with Process Lasso, the solution should be in hand. I just don't know enough of this stuff to know what exactly. I read on Bitsum about the Gaming mode and how it prevents Cores from parking and makes sure it supplies enough energy. But I can't find that mode. Where is it? On the other hand, enabling Performance Mode also seems to prevent the Cores from parking. Atleast, the visual representation shows all black Cores, when enabled. How come in your video, you still get grey ones, while you are in Performance mode? Anyway, with the error-codes in my crashdumps, am I reading it right and may that be invoked because Cores are being parked and at that time, when Oculus needs them, it still first have to 'wake up', but then it's already too late for Oculus? As I read that Oculus can be all over the CPU and is CPU hungry. I don't know much about hardware and OS-systems, so I'm pretty much everywhere, just guessing around. But I need my Oculus (I'm using a Rift CV1) functional and not freezing my computer, as I need it to develop my (VR)-game. So yeah, pretty essential I got to have that working with no compromises.
I use a i9-12900k, and i have a question: When playing CPU intensive games i want as much CPU power as possible, i only enable the physical P cores for certain games such as Escape From Tarkov. Would you recommend setting other applications such as Discord, NZXT Cam, MSI Afterburner, Winamp and other background apps to only use the E cores, so that the physical P cores gets freed up more than if other apps also use the P cores? Edit: To be more clear, are there any types of applications that one would definitely not want to limit to only using E cores, such as MSI Afterburner, RTSS, NZXT Cam or Logitech G Hub?
Dear, thanks for your video. I am using specific software for finite elements analyses, and my i9 12900k is using only the e-cores. In practice, I would like to use all cores available for such software to decrease the time of processing (24 cores). Would you have some suggestions on this? I am already using the Windows 11 and it seems that the thread director is not working well for this software. In practice, the software is using only 8 cores from 24... Thanks in advance
Since you already set performance mode manually you don't need to add it again to your games. You'd do that if you didn't manually induce performance mode. Make sense?
Hi I jusr subscribed to your channel I overclocked my Gigabyte Z370 gaming 7 processor. I won't send the specs because maybe you can answer my question without it. I shouldn't use process lasso or quick Cpu or core parking anything like that that uses all your cores. I shouldn't use therse softwares on an overclocked pc right I have an 8700k Intel 17 and it's overclocked to 5 gigs from 3.7 gigs. Thank you!!
In theory preventing Core parking should just mean there's lower latency for application threads waiting for an available core to run on, meaning your idle power consumption will be higher. I would target an overclock that can run on any available CPU core being used unless you only play games that run on one or two threads.
There is Free and Pro versions. The Pro version you can subscribe monthly or annual or just buy a lifetime license. The differences are listed here bitsum.com/howfree/
Pcores are always the first set of cores. And ECores are the second set. So if you have 8 pcore 10 ecores chip (Example) start from 0 and count 8. Which will end on 7. Those are your pcores. And 8 and beyond are your ecores.
@@donjuan3296 when you open a game or nothing is running in the background. You’ll see some cores being grey. Meaning they’re parked. If you have a game running and background apps. Some of your Ecores will be pegged and wake up. With adjustments and you have your game running on your pcores. Background tasks on ecores. Is the right way to do it.
@@HamVR i want to buy a 12900k, did they fix something in windows 10 now, or should i do the same like you did in this video, when i only play games with the 12900k best regards
