Tip: Restrict E-Cores for Ready or Not to assist with stuttering

[AllfatherOdin]

Hey all. After 1.0 I was getting some pretty crunchy stuttering on my system (13900K + 4090). Using Process Lasso to run Ready or Not only on the P-Cores via a CPU Set rule eliminated the vast majority of the micro stuttering and frame rate dips I was experiencing. If you have a 12th gen or newer system, I would give that a try to see if it helps out with your performance.

I f'ing love process lasso......

Can confirm, this is the way ^ lol
Personally I just used it to block core 0 & 1 cuz windows wants those, set foreground focus and pro balance, and I'm set, but ya its an amazing little app for games & cpu threads.

You can also just disable the usage of certain cores for certain softwares using taskmanager.

You're absolutely correct! You don't need to use Process Lasso to do this tweak, it's just what I use. The key is disabling E-Cores for the game in whichever way is most convenient for whoever is encountering the issue.

You realize that's a one time thing PER game load, right, not a ONE time thing like in lasso.....

Also do you manually set priority to every single non game process to low thats not a critical component, just while you game? No ? didn't think so. I definitely get gains using lasso. Yes you can do it manually, if you want to do that every single damn time you load a game. Hard pass.

Besides that you know how many casual gamers don't know how to change the graph in TM to see all thread usage? They'd have no idea how to configure that properly, its easy to just have them grab lasso, and for people that already understand those simple little things, the "Always" option is a god send too, so *Sticks out tongue*

Also setting certain tasks via TM doesn't always work, like certain game servers will refuse to get the hell off of core 2, somehow lasso makes that happen without having to go in and do /affinity #binary number here# in command lines.... so.... derp derp for you
