How to increase CPU and GPU usage?

[JKerman]

My heavily modded copy of KSP runs at like 6 fps with large ships, but Task Manager says it's only using 10% of the CPU and 13% of the GPU. Is there a way I can increase this, as there's plenty of unused power available?

Not really....

The computer uses CPU and GPU as necessary to get things done....you can't really tell it to use more if it doesn't need to use more.

The game is more likely slow because of RAM or hard drive usage.

How much RAM do you have, what's the speed of your RAM, and how much is left over with the game running? That is probably the bigger issue....

Sometimes things can tie up your hard drive usage, and make it look like 99% of your hard drive is being used at all times. I had something going on like that with Windows 10 and I had to remove some things and do a little regedit to turn some things off that were running in the background....

Big culprits of constant hard drive useage are antivirus software....and some built in Windows background processes....

If you are using Windows 10 and your hard drive useage is constantly at 99-100%, then the information in this article could help you fix that....

I was able to increase the task priority, and the game runs amazingly fast!

I have used the following for quite some time now,

hope this helps, this command sets the game to use least used cpu cores. I have 12 core with hyperthreading so setting the 60 to something else would be done depending on cpu,

I selects core 7and 8 so as to reduce the pounding on CPU0

cmd.exe /c start /affinity 60 KSP_x64.exe
wmic process where name="ksp_x64.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority"

(this must be launched from within the ksp directory unless altered)

hope this helps
