Limit CPU usage
Hello.
Is there a way to let some cpu cores free for other stuff? I have a 5950X and rtx 3090 and I would like to be able to use the computer while it is encoding. Im using StaxRip, but I cant find an option to limit the used threads. I tried adding -threads 28 but it wont work, causing an error. Thank you Last edited by smaiderman; 31st May 2024 at 11:48. |

Normally you'd use "--threads" with two hyphens. What's the error message you're getting.
You can also use the --pools parameter to pin x264 to specific cores or NUMA nodes. This can be a big help on Intel, and might help a bit on AMD, as the OS can then put other tasks on unused nodes. |
