Right, and this was my point about gaming tweaks. They are primarily focused on graphics card and clock speed (overclockers), neither of which seem to really make a big difference for replay testing. I've done all the BIOS tweaks I can, and haven't seen any appreciable improvement. My system however doesn't have UEFI and some claim that will make a difference. At the moment I'm continuing experiments using a RAM disk. It seems to make a very marginal improvement on a physical Windows 10 PC already running on an SSD drive, but on a Windows 7 VM (running in Parallels Desktop on Mac) it appears to give a pretty decent gain in replay performance. Nothing mind-blowing, but enough to be worth doing if you have the RAM to spare. Other than these things though, I haven't found anything that makes a big difference. My multi-core i7 950 PC running Windows 10, barely uses any of the RAM or CPU in the machine when running a replay. It's such a shame that more can't be done to utilize more of the available resources.
