Beginners guide to dealing with performance limited by CPU or GPU

Process Lasso (I use it) is indeed a powerful tool but it can also cause a lot of instability, crashes and other problems if you try to control certain programs and override the windows process scheduler. As an example, if you use it to try and force MSFS to only run on certain cores in my experience the sim won’t even launch at all. I use Lasso to force background tasks to the e-cores of my 13900k and that frees up the p-cores for MSFS and does improve my results overall…but I carefully did this for just a few programs and tested each time to make sure it was all stable and no CTDs. I would say Lasso is not a general tool for most folks unless you want to tinker and wade through the many pages of documentation that comes with it to really know what it’s doing. It has also helped me in VR as the VR software was stuttering when using p and e cores and forcing it to p cores only helped solve that (although the Varjo company will address this in a software update soon so the use of Lasso for this thing won’t be needed any more)
