If you had a ryzen cpu then it would be easy.

In bios you can choose all kinds of options, for example 2c/4t, 4c/4t, 4c/8t and so on.

And with the GPU you just use MSI afterburner and slide the power limit slider.

I want to test my game on worse hardware, but i don't have that hardware.

 

Any way to make my pc's performance worse?

 

i know about underclocking and disabling cores, but i wonder if there's any alternative

Maybe VM but there is bad hardware acceleration.

That could work, but i think it will be too slow.

This video goes over that concept quite well:

 

TL;DR: yeah, what you said the best option of going about it. Provided you are simulating a CPU in the same architecture as the one you are using, while (most of) all the other factors remain the same (e.g. the amount of cache a CPU has).

You can't go around simulating an AMD CPU, using an Intel CPU as your numbers will be inaccurate; due to the differences in how these products work.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

I did not realise that the power limit has that much of a performance impact.

Thanks!

Well if you put the power slider to 50%, then the gpu gets 2x less power, so it can have pretty big difference if needed.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

It won't affect the GPU in any way, right?

nope, it is 100% safe, you will just loose performance for the moment, if you put the slider back to 100% you will regain the perf.
