Hi all.

I'm currently running FSX SP2 on a dedicated PC (ASUS P8Z77V-PRO + IB 3770K + GTX680 + SSD + 16 GB mem) with good performance.

No other programs running, except for ASE (SP4 build 702).

In BIOS, I did not disable hyperthreading, and I'm not using any affinity mask for FSX, so it runs on cores # 0,2,4,6 and cores # 1,3,5,7 are almost idle

For ASE, I'm using an affinity mask that runs it only on cores # 6 and 7.

 

Would it be better to run ASE on cores # 1,3,5,7 and not touching core #6, which is used (only for texture processing) by FSX?

Any thoughts appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

It doesn't matter as AS is a single core program.

 

If you are not using any affinity mask, then FSX is just using the first core (core zero).
