The impact of how CPUCores will help with FPS depends on essentially 2 things:
#1 Your PC Hardware
#2 The game itself
Here are some benchmarks we've recently seen from our test system:
•
ARMA III - 17.5% FPS Increase!
•
Team Fortress 2 - 58% FPS Increase!
•
TombRaider - 6.3% FPS Increase
•
Left4Dead2 - 14% FPS Increase
The CPUCores application identifies dozens of Windows programs, background processes, and non-gaming applications, and immediately controls and isolates them to a subsection of your total CPU resources.
CPUCores will then free up a block of CPU resources and dedicated it specifically for a game. You can then launch a Steam game, or any game/program, directly via the CPUCores application. This enables CPUCores to control the processor usage for that game/program and ensure it has dedicated usage to processing cores. Your game no longer has to share resources with the OS / other applications.
