Performance Optimization
Reduce CPU, memory, and GPU usage while TBH runs in background.
The Problem
TBH uses Unity and renders at your monitor's refresh rate by default (144Hz = 144 FPS). A taskbar-sized game running at 144 FPS is completely unnecessary and wastes GPU resources.
Recommended Settings
| Setting | Value | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Background FPS cap | 20-30 FPS | 50%+ CPU/GPU reduction |
| Process priority | Below Normal | Uses only idle CPU cycles |
| Windows transparency | Off | Reduces UI redraws |
| Always on top | Off | Less rendering work |
How To
1. Cap Background FPS (NVIDIA)
- — NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Program Settings
- — Add TBH executable
- — Background Application Max Frame Rate → 30
2. Set Process Priority
- — Ctrl+Shift+Esc → Task Manager
- — Find TBH → Right-click → Go to details
- — Right-click → Set priority → Below Normal
3. Disable Windows Transparency
- — Windows Settings → Personalization → Colors
- — Turn off Transparency effects
Normal Resource Usage
- — RAM: 400-900 MB (normal)
- — If exceeding 2 GB: restart game (memory leak after long sessions)
- — CPU: should be 1-3% after optimization
