Disable Core 0 In Elden Ring! MASSIVE Performance Boost

If this helped you, please consider subscribing. It really does help my channel considerably. You will need to disable anti-cheat to do this. I use this mod here, otherwise, there are a lot of other ways and it's very easy. www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/90

Believe it or not this is actually quite common because most tasks always prefer running on core 0 (the 1st core). Disabling core 0 (make it not run on core 0 with other tasks) which is an old optimization trick on really old games like STALKER. Can believe it still work in some cases all these years later.

[@ReallySadProfessor]

Bro I was running limgrave at 28fps, horrible stutters everywhere in the game, you gave me this idea, tried EVERY one of my 18 cores, you gave me the idea to disable hyperthreading entirely, it seems like Elden Ring HATEs HT on Intel chips, you brought me an insane idea, jumped from unstable 28fps to 60 now, never dropping, you're a legend. And I'm also in shock I've had this CPU for 4 years and never once stopped to ask myself if HT was even worth it for my usage lol.

[@kupokinzyt]

you are very welcome!

[@DeltaJackal635]

It might be that elden ring is giving the e-cores the same workload as the p-cores, and shit just never gets done. Like it's treating the CPU as normally multi threaded.

[@ReallySadProfessor]

@@DeltaJackal635 I don't have e Cores, I'm on a 1980XE, so slower IPC altogether, what's happening is most likely due to latency between real cores and virtualization, and part of it is, like you said, bad scheduling for work, only one of my 36 threads would do ANYTHING when i'd stream this game, my GPU was also at 40% usage, now 90%, on a 3090 that was a 40% bottleneck and 60% performance uplift just by disabling HT in bios entirely.

[@kupokinzyt]

You are welcome!

[@Dracnea]

The reason for this is because Core 0 is the core that handles the main thread for the PC itself, as in the Operating system and most other smaller applications. The proper way for a game to optimize is to ensure they are multithreading and that they are not using the first core(s) of a cpu or gpu. By turning off core 0 and forcing the games engine to have to re-aasign work to the other cores you are manually forcing what should be a default optimization.

[@baboon9425]

So that means their game is the problem in terms of optimization, also in general the more multi-core cpu's is more efficient in this term ?

[@mike_miller]

yeah and my system primarily utilizes core #2 all of the time, what will you say on that? Wrong Windows installed? Wrong Intel CPU i'm using? Core #0 for main thread is not a rule

[@Dracnea]

@@baboon9425 Not necessarily. The game or software has to make proper use of multi threading. Sheer cores alone is not always a valid comparison as hardware of different generations may have same core count but the improvements in silicon and transistor count reflect in sheer base performance increase.

[@Dracnea]

@@mike_miller It is not the rule but it is the common case. There are a number of threads on Steam and tech forums discussing disabling core 0 affinity in games resulting in FPS boosting. I do not know you system specs. However, if one core has a consistent high usage I would check to see if any applications you run are not multi-threaded or by default are designated to a specific core. You may want to see if you can optimize your system and applications or to ensure there is not a malicious program.

[@mike_miller]

@@Dracnea Just to let you know, there's always the "best" core in every CPU and it's random. This is the core that can boost best and performs best at single thread. It's also a known fact Windows can communicate with each particular CPU and it always knows exactly which core is it. And for many tasks it will load primarily this particular core to get the best performance. It may be core 0, 3, 5, 10 whatever. It's completely random and depends on a specific CPU unit

to automate the process you can try process lasso, you just have to set a delay rule to 10 seconds in options and cpu affinities, otherwise it crashes a few seconds in.

[@heatnup]

@@yoitse-lv6jgThe only issue there is that Intel’s scheduler seems to dislike process lasso. Process lasso will cause crashes and network issues in Helldivers 2 for example. It’s a guarantee and Metro Exodus just does not work all. I’m sure there are other games that do not work at all or at the very least do not work well with process lasso.

[@SilentShadow-ss5xp]

Likely what's happening is that the graphics stack is being computed using core 0 and the load on that core is heavy. The entire game is likely heavily single threaded and putting more load on core 0. When you take the game executable off core 0 it likely frees up the graphics driver subsystems to run without waiting on the game logic to finish thus increasing performance. The game devs shoul leave scheduling to the operating system instead of putting a bunch of load on core 0.

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

Instead of disabling core 0, you can modify the scheduler system of CPU processes to make them use all the cores instead of the core 0 as that is how windows manages it for some reason. On Linux this is not a problem at all since everything is spread correctly

That's maybe because of other software, that is just using one core. Core 0. Core 0 is the most used. And maybe Fromsoft even don't use multicore very good? They don't take care about how many traffic is on a core. This hack works for many other games, that are not optimized for multicore systems.

cuz windows /OS and other softwares in the background uses Core 0 (the “”””””main core”””””) of your cpu games instructions are processed 80% of the time by core 0 so your core 0 is overloaded with a bunch of shit in the background while processing your game, if you turn it off your game your OS runs better in the background and your game will use a more “”free”” Core

[@flimermithrandir]

It does. It runs on Core 0 the same Time the Game runs on Core 0. AND ALL YOUR OTHER STUFF IN THE BACKGROUND. You can see it when you look at Task Manager on your Idle System. Core 0 will be used about 10% even though you do nothing your Windows doing Stuff or just existing, your Anti Virus Programm or whatever important Things normally run on Core 0. And so does the Game wich is stupid. If you have only 4 Cores and tell the Game to use Core 1 instead it helps because it now can use probably 90% of the Core instead of 50% or whatever.

What if I'm playing on Steam Deck? Where do I go while in desktop mode?

[@kupokinzyt]

You should not have to do this on Steam Deck as it's using Vulkan instead of DX, which is much better optimized.

Multi threading I think​@@profost4691

Which CPU? Bro I need help😢

[@rinkachi-rinkitata]

​@@golik133usually I disable 1-4 and leave 5-8 on

[@rinkachi-rinkitata]

​@@profost4691game either uses 1 cpu thread or spreads it out over multiple threads (2 to 4) however other apps can also use those threads so it get slowed down, if you tell the game to only use a different thread and increase priority there is less in the way to cause stutter ( you can see the usage of each thread in performance tab of task manager)

[@madson-web]

Core 0 is a really busy core overall

Time to try this trick on other games as well

[@truonghoaibao6119]

I have a question, are there any downsides doing this? i have a RTX3060 laptop it automatically optimized the setting in the game to High-Max setting but it can’t even run at stable 60fps (only high setting) the frametime is all messed up and sometimes it suddenly drops to 48-54fps which causes massive lag, i have tried many different ways such as lossless scaling (which doesn’t work fine for my case, the base fps drop even worse, from 55-60 to 45fps), i’m planning to install some mod to aid but i don’t really know much. My case is similar to you, the CPU utility usage is 50-60% all the time and takes up so much power (50-55W even more), which barely left anything behind for my GPU (it only runs at around 50% and 70W or so). I don’t really know whats going on, i just really want to enjoy the best of the game so i’ll disable EAC and try your method first

[@kupokinzyt]

There are no downsides to this, no, not if you do it the way I've shown in the video. It will only take effect each time you launch Elden Ring and only Elden Ring. I recommend using Process Lasso now and setting the same settings for only this one game.

[@sabargaming3564]

have the same problem with this, have a pretty similar rig too. please lemme know if you managed to find the solution 🙌🙌

[@ahihi7706]

If you use lossless scaling but it's not smooth then you did it wrong. Limit the framerate to 30fps or 40 fps and then only use frame gen 2.2 x3. I am at maximum setting 1080p 120fps using 1660 6gb bro.

[@moogies3754]

Disable ray tracing if you haven’t already. Helped a ton for me.

[@Threewlz]

@@ahihi7706 I've tried lossless but the input lag felt awful, even at 40 fps base and 2x frame rate, I could feel the lag on the comands

[@Thanatos2996]

I’ll have to play with this on Linux and see if I can get a similar effect. It’ll just be a command in the launch options if it works there, I’m glad I came across this

[@Fishy-i2g]

Selective core usage has been a thing since multi core CPU's have existed. You just needed 3rd Party software (Process Lasso) in the past to make most use of it.

[@kupokinzyt]

Yup, but it helps when games are optimized for multithreading. Something like Cyberpunk (now) for example, you'll see 100% usage across all cores including most efficiency ones which is what you want in terms of usage.

[@vladislavkaras491]

Huh, thanks to this video and all the commentaries now I know how to boost some CPU bottlenecked games! Thanks!

[@kupokinzyt]

[@SplitFace4393]

Never heard of prototype 2? If you had more than 2 cores active, you'd be soft locked in certain cutscenes because the enemies you need to kill will never spawn :^)

[@rising_fredo_pixel]

That's not how it works.

[@kruppelfield]

Wtf man, why didn't you upload it sooner and why tf the algorithm decided to show me this later... And now because of you I have to download the game again to see if it actually works for my system lol But anyway, nice video, great job :D

[@enzoys]

wtf this is so random and unintuitive lol, how did you find this out?

[@kupokinzyt]

by knowing that I can run the game more than 40fps on my GPU lol I eventually ran msi afterburner and noticed my performance wasn't being utilized, typically games that are badly optimized try to throw all performance on only a couple of cores. Disabling core 0, just forced it to use the others.

[@Jaynan2]

There may be additional cores you can disable that would help. Core 0, 1 and halfway points are worth trying. Also, most people don’t do this but debloat Windows and get all that bullshit off. This especially can help percent lows and hugely helps latency. I have a fast PC and after running through numerous tools even Dragon’s Dogma 2 was starting to feel responsive . It amazes me how many gamers run stock Windows. My Windows boots at 80 processes.

[@kupokinzyt]

Yup I use AltasOS! Highly recommend it and have been using it for years, it's essentially a trusted debloated Windows 10/11 (your choice) made by previous Microsoft employees and other tech/security focused enthusiasts.
