This might be Killing Your FPS and You Don't Even Know

Imagine blaming Microsoft for something you did lol

cringe

Nah, you messed up

OMG... I feel stupid. I had this issue and I didn't even noticed because I upgraded from 2600 to 5800x3d few month ago.
I could not start Ryzen master again because it said Ryzen master did not supported my new cpu (I thought it was normal because the 5800x3d is not overclockable).

I also didn't noticed because since I upgraded I'm GPU bound now and I play very low demanding games anyway (can't stop playing Battlebit lol).
Thank you so much for this video Vex

I never had this problem, I'm always reinstalling my windows after updating hardware

This is fake news, this is disabled by default.

This is basic

Sounds like a another linux vegan

Did you keep the new 16 checked or unchecked?

Nice Tip but useless !!

Why only dumb games get shown? Show guild wars 2 show something that people actually play in huge numbers.

These options in MSConfig should never have been checked or enabled to begin with. If it was ever checked then it was caused by the user themself or by some 'optimizer' app doing it. Those are debug options and would never be enabled by default under any reason. This isn't the fault of windows... it's a PEBCAK issue.

i actually ko how to build pcs & uprade them for ovedr 30 years but im only 39 i was 8-9 when i started on an IBM PC/AT & XT PCs in 91-92, & i have never seen tis.. somethig or someone had to set that to 12 cores in msconfig

And some games won't work with too many CPU cores active. Maybe more older games, idk. At least I had one such issue, I didn't understand why a game (Dirt rally) wouldn't start with my then new 8-core CPU (Ryzen 7 1700). It took months before I stumbled on the solution of only having 4 CPU cores active, via that msconfig tool.

But normally all cores are active unless you've messed with that setting. But it's kinda easy to forget that you HAVE messed with that setting.

BRU that option is to use how many cores you want only on boot startup of windows FAIL

If I have a i7 12700k what should I have it set to?

Changing the CPU to a different one (especially with a different number of cores) while retaining the same copy of Windows and not tweaking some deep system stuff... that's dumb... NOT Windows 🙄

Wtf 209 proces fucking bloatware Noob i have 67 at refresh restart

there is another really stupid thing on windows that just destroys your CPU, that are the "Pagefiles" that it creates. At my current job, we use 3d studio max, and because of the RAM limits, the same system in a lot of different ocasions was rendering like sh... until i noticed that the windows was just using 50% of the processor to shrink and expand the pagefiles while the rendering was ocurring, so fixing a value on it, made the CPU just be free for doind the real job it needed. got like a 30% less time in all rendering process, and consistent rendering times in all machines, some games too had a LOT of CPU performance imporvement because of that. OS are just stupid sometimes

Welcome to another video of- 30 second topic stretched into 8 minutes

i did this and now my pc says i have 1 core and its slow as hell, how can i revert this?

sorry but you are wrong

A same thing happens with the memory setting, if you put it on the max number that you can, and then you click accept, apply, and restart; if you go back to that setting, the setting will be unchecked and it will display a 0, but the max memory is still being applied because you can check the box and the 0 will turn into the number you put before. At the beginning, I thought it was a bug from my old laptop, but then I learned it happens on every windows pc for some reason.

I had this issue when I went from an I5 8400 to an i9 900K I didn't realize until we later

Cat earned thumbs up!!!

Bottle necked

My friend had been using Lenovo legion it had 8 cores but only 2 were enabled for 2 whole years

Man takes 8-12 business days to say the conclusion / fix.. Plus its off by default. Jesus a waste of my time

…😂

For the algorithm!!!

Thats not how it works lil bro

I have a motto, if something seems broke wipe windows and start again it's served me well for nearly 4 decades...

omfg i liyerally just upgradwd my cpu and didnt realize thtat this also happemsd to me

This is the baby version of I fixed it

Bro, you deserve a pat on the back. Windows was only utilizing 1 thread 😢

nice video!

This only happens if you checked the box yourself

This work only for AMD?

guys if you are reading this please know that:

this will not get you more fps lol please don't touch this
and it could be the user that has made changes that makes the fps go a bit low
all you need to do is update drivers for amd or intel and make sure your CPU is cool
and make sure you enable xmp mode in your motherboard

and oh if you want you can install a OS its ghost spectre for windows 10 its great for gaming and deletes all of the bloatware that windows have
and make sure that you install games on a ssd or m.2 not a hhd
thats all lol

I just have a quad core that it sees as the 6 year old quad core 7600K that it is.

Great vid!! At least you figured it out.

I fixed this stupid issue last month when i upgraded from a 3200g to a 5700X on my B450 motherboard, my system thought i was using a dual core instead of using 8 cores and the cuprid was some new Eco function being enabled in the BIOS when i updated it, that function it even locked the cores on msconfig.

NOOB CHANNEL

YOU BRICKED MY PC @VEX STOP DELETING MY COMMENTS

It happened to me!!

This is a rather long video just to show how to uncheck a box in a menu 🥴

That checkbox was checked by you. Not Windows doing something stupid. Only newbs would not already know this.
However I do notice the GameMode can actually hurt performance in a few games. Not many but it can. What can help is "Core Unparking". I also don't use AMD C&Q or Turbo. I just set the Base Clock to the Turbo, done. Also the CPU Voltages and Offsets you need to learn how to better manually set these, it can make a big difference.
