So when you push “Start” -right click- your “Computer” and choose “Properties”.
On the left right top corner you will see 4 options to choose from.
Click on “Advanced System Settings” it will get you to the “System Properties -> Advanced Tab”
So you click on the “Settings” button (the first one of them all {From Top}).
Choose the third circle (“ball”) from the top. Says “Adjust For Best Performance”.
It kills’ all “Aero” special effects such as window fade, glassy look…kills the special font of each “Theme”.
But gets your Windows run much faster, and actually now my game runs faster.
(Gives a windows 95 looks)
Anyways i was running Shaders, Shadows, Textures – On medium with some stuttering on loaded surroundings and areas 20-35 fps. Now i run Shaders, Shadows, Textures On high with super sampling and awesome performance =] 45 fps stable.
Anyways i hope it helps you, and actually boost the game for you on your “Old Special” rig of yours ;D
Cu in game!
P.S
I run on 4gb DDr3, 1gb GTX550ti, Quad CPU Q8400 imagine that, huh?!

Bandmarks have shown the opposite.
Since Aero is rendered by your GPU, Windows suspends it when it’s being overlayed by a fullscreen process.
When you start a game using the classic interface, which is rendered as a bitmap, you get lower performance, because windows continues to render it in the background, which sucks down (a small amount of) CPU performance.

I run games in “Windowed Fullscreen”, if it has the option.
(Also seems it didn’t suspend anything even when i tried Fullscreen Mode, when Aero was on.)
A 20 fps difference is not something that can relate to a Cpu usage, at least i don’t think so – it’s to much.
Anyways, i came here to suggest people to try it out, because either way it works.
Thanks for stating something that might be true, or not=]

So, I’ve tried your method and it seems to be little bit a placebo effect. If you have multi-core CPU use this method: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/FPS-TIP-Quickly-increase-your-FPS-on-multicore-CPU This thing boosted my game like +15 FPS (I’ve used program method)
