Guild Wars 2

Gained about 20FPS across the board by unparking my CPU Cores on Windows 7.

Wanted to pass on the word for those of you how have really decent mid-range PCs but are seeing horrible performance in LA and WvWvW

This probably only applies if you have more than 4 cores right? Such as an i7 with virtual cores

This probably only applies if you have many than 4 cores right? Such as an i7 I believe.

It applies on any multicore system.
I did the same a year ago, got the same 15-20 fps on my i5-460 (Laptop processor)

I’m not sure if I did this right but I got around 4 more frames with an fx-8350

It helps alleviate parking issues associated with newer AMD moduled cores and how Windows parks the cores. For instance, if you run Windows 7 and an i7, you can run tests that will show you remain within the margin of error (1.5%) for unparking all cores or letting Windows do that for you.

Yea i unparked my cores a while back and my FPS was still within margin for error so i couldnt see any difference.

SolarNova I don’t think you’d need to unpark your cores :P especially with a six core at 4.6

I know lol i just felt like trying it a while back. :P

there is another program called park control that can disable core parking without a reset, allowing you to do it on the fly without a regedit.
