Will Disabling Hyper Threading improving gaming performance?!

[Beorn_Bear]

I am using an Intel -7-3770 (4-core / 8-threads) with a Nvidia GT 1030. I would like to know if disabling Hyper Threading improve gaming performance as most gaming do not take advantage of higher cores or threads. Has anyone experienced any significant different in performance with enabling or disabling hyper threading?!

Try it. Should be a bios toggle.

Don't disable hyperthreading.

It makes very little difference from the quick glance I did at this websites benchmarks. (granted he was running a i9-9900k but hyper-threading has been a thing since the Pentium 4HT on socket 775, I am amazed that games don't use it effectively (allegedly )

No leave it on if you really want better gaming performance upgrade your gpu

On that specific CPU it is unlikely to, unless you mostly run games even older than that CPU. For higher core count CPUs (more than 8 ) it might help, but it will depend on the title. I've done it with good effect on a 12 core 7920X before. That's more cores than most games know what to do with, and in that scenario disabling HT allows the real cores to deal with work faster.

 

Edit: below is the only controlled test I did. There were some other casual tests I didn't write down the results to where I saw similar.
