Apologize if this has already been debated upon.

 

I am experimenting with Affinity mask for more than 4 cores , and this is being done on a 960t unlocked to a hex @3.8 GHz with an Affinity Mask of 62 and what I have noticed is that, it does exactly what the affinity mask has been assigned as I can see FSX using the last 5 cores instead of six , the first core has been left out for the OS and stuff I guess. So for a quad it should go to 64 I guess.

 

The above test was done in NL2000 with FTX Cessna 152 and I am not using any other add ons. And to my knowledge NL2000 is a bit heavy , so I am getting a starting FPS of 30 (locked in FSX) and low to 17 (throttle) but an average is 24-29 and everything is maxed excluding :

 

Water High 1.x

Special Effects Low

Air traffic and airport to 60-65 %

No Bloom or Flare .

Road Traffic is the default.

 

Screen Resolution 1600x900x32.

.

 

I am not getting the correct Texture Bandwidth and Fiber Frame as I am noticing delay in the visuals even though the fps counter is showing around 25 or 30 fps.

Currently I have put Fiber Frame to 0.5 and Texture Bandwidth to 60, any suggestions ?

 

I am using Bojotes Tweaks including Shadermod but no external fps limiter.

In the beginning i used the Bojote tuning to, but i discovered soon that the best approach is

to follow the Word Not Allowed method guide to the letter :

 

With BP=0 and Fiber Frame to something between 0.1 and 0.2 (default is 0.33).

With my hardware ( see left here ) FF 0.2 works best, 0.1 and 0.15 gave blurries.

Thanks, I am also tinkering with my bufferpools.

OK in KLGA my frames don't drop below 22 and remains quite steady @25 which is locked. Using the FXS WX engine still looks nice solid and FSX is hitting all 5 cores and also if I set it to use 6 cores it hits all of them, GPU usage not does not exceed above 400 MB that is what I am seeing.

 

Please note I am using an AMD 960t with NB @2800 , RAM @1600 9/9/9/21 , check my sig on the left of this window "My PC", maybe AMD users could still do some tweaking and get juice out of the chip for some or little more performance. I will still be testing under few scenery / aircraft / wx conditions so these are not my final settings.
