You can also tweak your system settings to make the best of your PC. Here’re the instructions on how to limit the number of startup apps, disable CPU Parking, update your graphics driver:

1. Limit the number of startup apps

Apps that automatically run at startup can take up extra amounts time in the boot process. These background apps can also hog your CPU resource and network bandwidth. So you can remove them from your list of startup programs and hopefully reduce lags while playing Anthem.

So you can follow the steps below to disable CPU core parking:

1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type msconfig and press Enter.

2) Click the Boot tab, select your Windows system, and click Advanced options…

3) Tick the box for Number of processors and choose the maximum number of processors. Then click OK.

4) In the System Configuration window, click OK.

5) Make sure you’ve saved your work on your computer and click Restart.
