I for one personally wouldn't mind lowering my CPU Usage while playing RuneScape, though I'm stumped which setting to put it on. It seems the "Lower" I put my CPU Usage setting in RuneScape the higher my usage gets, why the hell is that when this thing is supposedly supposed to lower CPU Usage?

I noticed no difference no matter what setting I put it to. (CPU usage of my computer also didn't change)

Well not enough time has elapsed for me to be sure, but I've noticed that when set on the lowest option, Runescape stops randomly freezing while I play on Google Chrome.

You know how to find your CPU usage, right?

 

I find that mine lowers between 10-15% from maximum to lowest.

I also notice a 5-10% difference in processor usage according to my Logitech G15 performance application when messing with usuage. I guess this mainly effects lower-end computers.

I tried all of the settings on all 4 of my computers and didn't notice a difference in the cpu utilization on any of them. I don't know what that option actually does to the game and since it doesn't affect my CPU usage I just run it at max.

I play on a pretty low end computer I suppose... bout 6-7 years old now.

 

When I run RS on maximum with Firefox - my CPU is a steady 99-100% usage.

 

When I run it on Very Low with firefox - its a steady 60-61%.

I put it on max and it works gud :thumbup:

I have mine on max and it runs at 50% CPU, dumped it down to minimum and that dropped to 35% or so. My machine isn't exactly "low-end" either :P

I just left it at maximum. I think a Core i5 can handle Runescape at max settings mhmm

The CPU usage setting would be useful for lower end machines and especially notebooks, to reduce the risk of overheating whilst running the game. I haven't tried the settings on my lappie just yet.

You would want to leave it at maximum unless it completely slow's down your computer.

 

but leave it at the middle unless it's completely bogging down your system and you can't do anything.

 

but luckily for me, im a huge computer nerd and i've got a Quad core processor, so im pretty sure that runescape takes maybe 10% CPU usage on 1 core >.>

As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to lower it without changing the reaction time whilst playing the game unless you're running dual or quad-core systems.

I run it at maximum in HD and I find i only use 40% CPU usage. Dunno whats wrong with yours

Java usage while playing RS will vary, depending on the environment.

 

May i ask what cpu you got for which you need to go and fiddle in the task manager?

I just set it to lowest.

 

Before, my CPU hovered in high 90's to flat out 100. NOW, it's hovering around 60-90 territory, mostly 60-80.

 

I am very, very happy :D

My computer can handle runescape fine, so I don't think Im gonna fiddle around with any CPU settings :P.

It seems like it lowers detail and response time across the board as oppose to actually throttling the CPU. On a crappy CPU it might actually increase responsiveness IMO, but it definitely doesn't feel like it throttles anything.

Can I ask where we can change our CPU Usage, I can't find it <_<

Probably depends on how powerful you processor is to whether you see an effect.

 

The max setting its probs unlimited usage, then one below is probs a cap at something like 30% usage or soemthing.

So logicall better processors that use less % to run rs at max u wont not a difference

Mine uses 40% on max fullscreen hd :thumbup:

It's under "game options" and "graphics settings". It's one of the advanced options.

As long as I stay in hardware acceleration, it barely dents my cpu between running and not running.

 

Otherwise it turns to sand soaked in molasses, and left in the sun in Quebec

When playing standard detail in resizable screen it only reduces my CPU by around 5%. However now when I play in HD instead of using 100% of my processor it sits between 60-70% at minimum CPU and it doesn't affect my gameplay at all. Makes it a great update for me as my laptop doesn't heat up as much when playing in HD. :)

So it only makes a difference in HD I guess.

That happened to me once. Never try to cheat Girl Scouts out of their cookies. :lol:
