Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Black Ops 6, and man, my CPU was getting hammered. It was like the game was trying to cook my processor. So, I did a little digging and a bunch of tinkering, and I think I’ve got some decent tips to share on how to keep things cool and running smooth.
First off, I went into the game’s settings. You know, the usual drill. I started by turning down some of the fancy graphics stuff. Like, I don’t really need ultra settings on everything. High or even medium works just fine, and it made a noticeable difference in how hard my CPU was working.
Then, I remembered reading somewhere about this thing called a “cache cleaner.” Sounds kinda techy, but it’s basically just a tool that clears out old junk files and stuff that your computer doesn’t really need anymore. I used some third-party tool to clear the cache. I gave that a shot, and it seemed to help free up some resources. It’s like cleaning out your closet – makes things feel a bit lighter, you know?
After that, I dove into the Windows settings. There’s this “Game Bar” thing that’s supposed to be helpful for gamers, but honestly, it just felt like it was hogging resources. So, I turned that off. I mean, I’m not really recording my gameplay or anything, so I figured, why not, right?
While I was in there, I also turned on “Game Mode.” It’s supposed to prioritize your game over other stuff running in the background. I figured it couldn’t hurt, and it did seem to make things a bit smoother. And then I made sure my power settings were on “High Performance.” I mean, if I’m gaming, I want all the power, right?
- Lowering in-game graphics settings from ultra to high or medium.
- Using a cache cleaner tool to clear out old temporary files and free up memory.
- Disabling the Game Bar in Windows settings to free up resources.
- Enabling Game Mode in Windows to prioritize gaming performance.
- Setting the power plan to High Performance to ensure maximum power for gaming.
So, after all that, I fired up Black Ops 6 again, and it was a lot better. My CPU usage was down, and the game felt smoother. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a big improvement. I can actually play without my computer sounding like it’s about to take off.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little adventure in case it helps anyone else out there. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where the game looks good and runs well without melting your CPU. Keep on gaming, folks!
