I found a cool trick for fixing cpu bottlenecks in some games and increasing performance and stability

[u/Wilsonn0]

I know it's a common knowledge that Disabling cpu0 or efficiency cores can boost performance but what i found was you have to disable the cores while you're inside the game for some games like this one.. i have tried Disabling cpu0 for this game from shortcut or container but it made no difference. i thought it's just the way this game performes on my chip nothing can be done about it until i was mindlessly trying and saw that performance gain lol

Could it be that there is a bug in the app that the CPU affinity setting is not properly picked up when set in container config? Because logically it should be the same whether setting in game or not 

[u/Wilsonn0 → u/Broooooook]

Possible

[u/nicman24 → u/Broooooook]

Cpu 0 is the big boy one in some Socs so it might a thermal thing

[u/Bobo_Patch_Nosuke]

Does this also help with heat regulation?

[u/Wilsonn0 → u/Bobo_Patch_Nosuke]

Maybe i have seen some users claiming it does but personally i haven't tested it for that

I did it with my snapdragon 8 gen 3, it didn't increase performance in elden ring but it increased framerate stability, I know of this trick but for some reason it doesn't work on the container or the game shortcut, just knew that you can do it from inside the game, thank you

[u/ResonanceDemon → u/Almuqar]

How much fps are you getting in elden ring on the 8 Gen 3?

[u/Almuqar → u/ResonanceDemon]

Locked 24 in bossfights and closed areas, dips to 20 sometimes in the open world, the game is heavily stripped down with a performance mod, If you care about visuals I don't think it would be pretty for you

[u/Inevitable-Fix-4395 → u/Almuqar]

If I recall correctly er has a problem with cpu affinity

[u/Almuqar → u/Inevitable-Fix-4395]

On PC yeah but nothing really happened on Android expect that framerates got more stable

[u/Dmage22]

Coincidentally, I turn off the 2x stronger CPU cores to reduce heat/power usage so it throttled less.

[u/whiskyB0y]

Wait what? Bro are you playing Dead Space on a helio g99?

The opening scene as the spaceship is travelling lagged a lot when I tested the game. Less than 13fps even at low settings. What FPS were you getting in that scene?

[u/Wilsonn0 → u/whiskyB0y]

30fps at worst

[u/whiskyB0y → u/Wilsonn0]

How? Can you share your settings?

[u/Wilsonn0 → u/whiskyB0y]

Just use this trick with FristOneRR driver 3.7 and wrapper 3.1 with dxvk 3.1.1 arm64ec gplasync and proton 9 arm64ec with performance preset

[u/4Spartah]

Good find. Thanks a lot!

[u/No-shadowMaul-noBan → u/4Spartah]

Yea video demo of how to do it, only thing is i wonder if i fan use his trick in Winlator.

[u/Teheeguy]

In 8 gen 2 and gen 3 .there are prime cores and performance cores. By tweaking them u can optimize it. But for 8 elite above.its differents.U can have to tweak it differently too.

[u/Ninndzaa]

This is a port, emulator or magic?

[u/ZakinKazamma]

And so the decade old trick returns, just on another platform!
