  Just commenting to all the "This is placebo" and get the better "free Lasso" blablabla What does the program do? It's main purpose seems to basically chooses the cpu cores/threads for the games/programs to use. You can do it manually without any program in the task manager (or in case using cpucores, you can also see what cpucores chooses to use). Windows default is allow appllication to use all cores/threads. Task Manager(ctrl+shift+esc) -> Details tab -> right click on application -> Set affinity ->select cores you would like to use and click ok Now why does this matter for me? In my personal case, I don't use it to "gain perfomance" but to fix problems in many cases. Many older games have problem with running on too many cores. GTA SA has mouse "bug" where it just sometimes won't change character direction after exiting the menu, if I don't limit the amount of cores used. Prototype doesn't even load to game (just closes it in the middle of loading) if i use all the cores. So why not do it manually in Task manager? Because my experience is that Task Manager does not retain the affinity values of the programs. CPUcores can be set to autostart So where does all the alleged "extra performance" come from? Since operating system mainly uses the first core of the the cpu for it's own processes, loading the the game process on same core also, may impact the game performance negatively. Not using the operating systems main core for game or application process(es) adds the possibility of "extra performance" since it does not have to compete with operating system on the same core. Second thing is Hyperthreading or SMT; using every single physical core as 2 virtual cores (threads). This will basically make possibility to consume single physical core with the worth of 2 core workload and in some game cases having those workloads on separate physical cores will have the possibility of "extra performance" since it won't have to compete with itself on those physical cores. So why not Process Lasso? To be honest, could not care less if you use Lasso, cpucores, do it manually or use some other program; everyone chooses what he/she uses. The comments about lasso "is free" is not correct. It's trial is free, it's paid lifetime version is more expensive than cpucores deluxe. Is it better or worse can't say; I don't require the additional functionality Lasso offers and I like the easy solution that cpucores is: It is downloaded and started from where my games also are and it is not with too many options, that i will never use anyway. That is my experience using it, hope it helps someone

  Upon starting up CPUCores, I was able to enter a CS:GO match and play for a few minutes. No noticeable FPS change (probably due to my system already having high end specs). However, what did bother me was the fact that if I tried to alt tab out of game it would freeze my PC and only a hard reset (manually turning off the PC power switch) would solve the problem. The second time I opened CS:GO my PC froze immediately upon loading the map. I contacted the developer and he tried to sort out my issues with me but we were unable to reach a solution. I have since requested a refund from Steam. Tim, the developer of CPUCores, was very helpful but we were unable to pinpoint nor solve the issue of my computer crashing when using his software. Specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 16 GB Memory

  Refund received. Tried this out particularly to see if it would help out Ark or Arma 3. Opened up my resource monitor prior to running CPUCores. Then ran CPUCores and saw no change to any processes (after launching each game via the CPUCores GUI). OS processes were not isolated to a single core. When I ran a game, that game process moved around to various cores, including the first one, which was supposed to be isolated for OS processes only. I even tried rebooting just in case it needed a fresh start. Nothing changed. Just in case I was missing something, I tried running both Ark & Arma 3 with varying graphics configurations, high to low, with and without CPUCores running. I saw no difference whatsoever, which makes sense considering it wasn't doing anything it had advertised. Maybe it works for you. It didn't for me. Just remember you can get a refund from Steam if you run it for less than 2 hours or 2 weeks, whichever comes first. Edit: Clarified that I did run the games via the CPUCores GUI.

  Actually dropped 10 fps off of Arma 3, in fact on my machine it actually made the majority of my games run worse. Whether this is due to my system or OS, I don't know. I would have to agree with other reviewers, it seems more beneficial for older setups. Didn't do anything for me except drop frames in some games. EDIT: I've been looking through other reviews and the developer has stated in responses to other "not recommended" reviews that the program is intended for Dual Cores and SOME Quad Core CPU's(I haven't seen anything stated as to which Quad core CPU's are on his list). Basically, If you're not running an old computer, this program will more than likely slow your games down, rather than speed them up. The dev also seems to take negative reviews personally from what I'm seeing.

  CPUCores is often advertised on /r/pcmasterrace and claims that you will have higher fps however, with an AMD FX - 8350 it hasn't made much of an impact on my games. To top this off, YOU CAN DO THIS ALL FOR FREE WITH A DIFFERENT PROGRAM!!! as found on Reddit also can be explained here. Also after is was announced that this was deemed "snake oil" the creator of that thread was banned from this steampage. *asshole move* I would not recommend buying this and I also recommend you do some research yourself...

  So as it turns out, all this does is save you 5 minutes in task manager. There is a free software called process lasso that does everything that this does. Do not waste your money.

  The program didn't do anything to boost fps in my case (Although this might only be because my main bottleneck is not my CPU) but actually created issues with the games I tried it with (Cities Skylines & Total War:Warhammer). In both instances the game would slowly start degrading in performance after usage and eventually come to a complete halt in framerate. This would happen in the main menu as well as in game. I would suspect some sort of memory leak but I am not a software developer so that is just a guess from my many years of gaming. These later problems are the reason I do not recommend this software, as again the fact that I did not see any significant performance gains are probably more specific to my hardware setup than any issue with the software. Update: To be fair to the dev I have elaborated on the issue and corrected the way I phrased my previous review since I realized it was not entierly fair in its representation of the software.

  Those positive comments looks fake as shit, tried to run it with black desert and witcher 3 using multiple different setting and there was no change at all, just change priority in task manager for bigger fps boost XD

  I was trying the pirate version of CPUCores to check hows the performance and it end up pretty well. So I decide to buy to support the Developer ;)

  I have to say, I was a bit skeptical of buying this, as I know of some other boosters that are free (Game Booster, HiAlgo, etc) But after purchasing it, and testing it for myself, I have to say, it really blew my mind to see that it actually works My specs: Processor : AMD A6-7310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics 2.0 GHz Memory : 4.0 GB (3.25 usable) Operating System : Microsoft Windows 10 Some Games I tested Warframe -No boosters ► 20 fps -CPUCores + Game booster► 45 fps Paladins -No booster ► 25 fps -CPUCores + Game booster ► 30 fps Hyperdimension Neptunia U -No booster ► 30 fps -CPUCores + Game booster ► 45 fps It doesn't work with many games It doesn't work with unity games I give this a 10/10 . It does what it told you, and it is a great addition to my potato rig!
