Maximize the Juice of your box

[n3rd]

If you want to give your game priority on computer resources do the following:

Code: Select all

Click at Start > Run > Type regedit > Hit Enter

Click at and expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Go to exefile (way down there)


Click shell
Right cick at shell > Click New Key
Rename that key to XQSHP
Click at XQSHP which will show its default value at the right side.
Double click at that default value and change it to
Start at High Priority

Now

Right click at XQSHP and create New Key
Rename that Key into command
Click at command and change its default key value at right side to.

C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /c start "XQSHP" /high "%1"

Done...

[b]Caution:[/b]

FOR 32 BIT Operating System use the following:
C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /c start "XQSHP" /high "%1"

FOR 64 BIT Operating System use following:
C:WindowsSysWow64cmd.exe /c start "XQSHP" /high "%1"

Now right click at the exe file of any game and select 'Start at High priority'.

Now the game will run in High Priority mode, all other PC processes will be slowed down and all PC resources will be utilized to increase performance of that game while you are playing it.

Credits dont go to me but some random dude I cant quote.

What's the difference between this and just using the task manager and changing the process to 'High Priority' ? Is it just all the others get reduced at the same time?

with task manager you can give a high priority but it wont maximize the resources

hm, I kinda doubt it will have a real effect, at least as long as you don't run a video conversion in the background while playing (for example).
can you maybe do a before/after benchmark for a game? would be interesting to see...

Linux provides a much better (and easier) way to set process priorities btw:
