Reduced FPS

[duangdoock]

Hi everyone

My conversion started well on my Windows computer. But when I started to open other applications I've noticed that the FPS of the conversion started to reduce quiet a lot. So I've closed all other unnecessary program hoping that the FPS may increase but with no success.
Is there a way to solve my problem or would it be better to restart everything? Thanks in advance

I have the same thing happen on one of my PC's but not on my other PC. I run my larger conversions on my NV 4090 which is also the one that does that and have nothing else running. My other PC is a NV 3060 with AMD Ryzen 7. That one I can do other things on and still process with iw3 ( of course it's slower). My guess is it's CPU/GPU related but I'm no Techno-wizard so I can't really give guidance. I guess it depends on how far along the conversion is and how far down the fps is. You could calculate it and get a rough idea.

Ok thanks for the advice. I'll calculate!

Impact by other programs is OS/kernel issue. Basically, there is nothing that can be handled by software. Admin(user) can configure process priority and CPU affinity.

If the impact persists after other programs are closed, swapping is considered as a possible cause.
The GPU memory used by iw3 may be swapped to "Shared GPU memory". On Windows, when Share GPU Memory is used, it will be very slow. It is managed by the graphics driver and cannot be controlled from software.
