Hi guys

just wondering if I can get some advice on this

I have an i7 4930k with hyper threading  enabled at the moment and was wondering if I'm correct in thinking that in task manager that if I untick cpu 0 and assign things like active sky  rex etc to cpu 0

fsx/p3d would run on all the other cores but windows active sky etc would run on cpu 0

 

I currently have my affinity mask set at 4094

 

thanks

You would be much better off with AM=4092    (111111111100)

 

That way,  the physical core 0 is offloaded from FSX/P3D

 

No need to touch task manager.. Programs outside FS will automatically

run on core 0.

 

Personally, I might try 4084   (111111110100) and give the main

FS thread a physical core all to itself.

 

You've got 6 physical cores... First one for other programs,

second one for the main FS thread, and eight vitual cores for texture loading..  Should be plenty!

This is an automatic message.

Am I correct in assuming that the way you have the am 4084 that physical part of core 1 is for fsx and the virtual core 1 is disabled from fsx

I'm not really up on am but my understanding is a 1 is on and a 0 is off

would that be correct?

Correct, the idea is to have the main FS thread all by itself on the physical core, without interference..

Ok Bert

Thanks will give it a try
