Hey All! 

 

So i have a I5 4670K CPU ( 4 Cores ) 

 

I normally run Affinity mask set to 14. How ever i came accross something, where he said using 14 with 4 cores took up quite alot of the CPU Usage E.G 95 - 98 percent at times, but when he put affinity mask to 84 he said the CPU usage went down into the 40's and FPS improved. 

 

What are your thoughts ?

AF=84 is with Hyperthreading turned on Jack

Oh i see, Silly me 

Can anyone confirm if there is any benefit ot adding this to my CFG file, All I use is the HIGHMEMFIX one.

You have to try it to see if it makes a difference for your computer, your installation of FSX. You have a super fast computer like mine and I see no reason to employ this so-called tweak. The tweak did not do anything for me. The highmemfix=1 parameters is actually NOT a tweak but an actual fix that Microsoft forgot to add when then released Acceleration/SP2.

 

Best regards,

Surely a I5 4670K CPU only has 4 cores so what does 84 actually do?

 

Anyway, why not try it out yourself?

Thanks for the reply Jim, I am happy with the way FSX runs on my pc , I get just the occasional stutter but I  do have the sliders set on high and after reading  the guide AVSIM provides I have learned that its best to to overtweak the CFG file

 

kind regards

 I believe 84 would put the entire FSX load on the third core (only)...

 

Hard to believe that would be an improvement, and scenery loading should be negatively impacted..

I suspect you meant to state best NOT to over tweak (which is best for your system and mine). Of course, a tweak is not harmful to try and, if it does not work or improve things, get rid of it as it could do more harm than good especially if the parameters are incorrect.

 

Best regards,

yes Jim you are of course right :smile: . That's what I meant to say

 

Kind regards
