This article will increase the speed of any video game (counter-strike source, tf2, or any other computer game) OR application that you just want to go smoothly. This WILL work; if it doesn't, that means your computer may have a problem. For a video game, each video game has a main application, or start up. ex: steam games have hl2.exe.
Steps
Start your video game.
Ctrl + alt + delete and task manager will appear.Advertisement
Click the processes tab.
If it's a game look for the main application (for example hl2.exe) and right click it.
Click 'set priority'.
Click 'high', or if it's severe click 'realtime'.
Internet browsers and other things have these same applications in processes (firefox.exe, explorer.exe) you can do the above with those, too.Advertisement

Community Q&A
- QuestionHow much FPS will the game gain?
Community AnswerThis depends on your GPU, CPU and RAM, as they are what processes everything. - QuestionI only find my game in the applications menu. When I right-click, it shows an option of moving it to process, so should I do that then do these steps? I hate that much lag every time.
Community AnswerYou can do that and then the steps listed above; however, you should note that the mass majority of AAA, AA and Indie games require a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, i5 processor, and at least a 720 GTX graphics card to run with minimal lag. If you're playing browser-based games, use Firefox; Chrome is known to eat resources just by doing its thing to increase its speed. If you're playing desktop games, set everything to the minimum setting and see if that helps. - QuestionDo I need to close the app and refresh after doing that?
Community AnswerIt's recommended that you do so.
Tips
- When you right click the .exe file you may see 'priority' and 'set priority'. Click set priority.Thanks
- Look hard for the .exe file.Thanks
- Real time doesn't always work, sometimes the change is too much you may get an error message such as: "an error occurred unable to set to 'realtime'" or something like thatThanks
Warnings
- With the increase of many things (maybe 3, 4 or even 5 if you make that many) other processes will be slowed down.Thanks
- With the increase of one thing, something else (unlikely if it's only one) may get slower.Thanks
