Have you ever changed the priority of a process in the Task Manager?
Do you have to do it often?
Do you want your database server or media player to know the priority it should work with?


Prio - Process Priority Saver. Free for personal use.

This compact program allows you to save the priority you specify for any process.


What is the priority of an application?

Windows is a multitasking system. It means that a lot of various applications are running simultaneously in it. You directly work with some of them, but some of them work invisibly and independently. The priority of an application is a parameter that tells the system which task has priority over other tasks. For example, if there are two programs that are running simultaneously and with the same priority, they will have equal shares of the processor time. But in case you set a higher priority for one of them, the program that has this higher priority will use all the free processor time while the one with a lower priority will use only the rest of it. For example, if you have an application for rendering a video clip running on your computer, it will use the free processor time sharing it equally with, say, Explorer. It will result in Explorer working jerkily... But if you set a lower priority for the rendering program, it will use only the time that Explorer does not need. Explorer will work more smoothly and faster. It is also convenient to set a higher priority for multimedia players - the playback will be smoother. If you have some database service running on your computer, it is useful to set a lower priority for it so that it does not interfere with the work of those applications you are using at the moment. You can change the priority of processes on the Processes tab of Task Manager. Prio automatically detects any changes in priority and saves them in its settings. Next time you start this application, its priority will be restored.

It is a fact that FIFA 12, with its “impact engine”, consumes a lot of computational power more than FIFA 11. So I think it is quite normal for all the owners of a “some years old PC” (like I am) to have performance problems. The game stutters and becomes impossible to have an enjoyable playing time. According to my experience, it is not a matter of graphic GPU but of CPU perormance. From a grapichal point of view FIFA 12 is more or less like FIFA 11 so if your GPU worked fine for FIFA 11 it will work fine also for FIFA 12. This is confirmed by the fact that the replays are very fluid so, when the CPU doesn’t have to spend time to compute what is happening on the field in real time, the GPU makes its rendering work pretty well. I verified the situation looking at the CPU load using the Task Manager. This is the report of the CPU load of my dual core processor while playing a game, as you can see there are many points where the core reaches the 100% of its capacity and, at that points, the game doesn’t work well.




The most effective action is to change the priority of the process running FIFA.
Start the Task Manager pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and then FIFA. Then, using the Task Manager select the process fifa.exe and, clicking the right mouse button, select priority and choose the value “high”. Now the game should work better.

ive been using something like this for xp for almost 3 years now, i use process lasso, much better than prio.

member who run vista & newer os's pay no mind to this thread as vista & newer actually save the priority.

i have been using windows 7(ultimate) for over a year now.. but it doesn't save the process priority, u have to change it every time to high.
instead of using other programs, i use a simple "bat" file which starts the game or any "exe" file in the desired priority... so u dont have to alt+tab while playing.
