Will bitdefender slow down gaming?

Solution
If it's not actively running a scan I don't see any of the major apps causing a problem for you.

You can test this if you want, disable the AV, bench your game, enable your AV and bench the game again. Compare. Profit.


The main game I’m using is black Squad, basically a free ripoff of Cs:Go. My system held together just fine when dedicated to gaming in this game with no lag.

Some specs are:
Pentium G4560 (w/ hyperthreading)
Gpu: Gtx 1050

Well, considering bitdefender is rather minimalistic in terms of bloatware and scanning procedures and other crap not to be mentioned (comparing this to IObit on my old laptop, “thanks HP”), it should be fine...I hope. I will do some benchmarking though. Thanks for the tips.
