Hi

One question regarding Affinity Mask settings in FSX and Steve DX10 Fixer.

If I have Affinitymask=14 because I have i5-4690K.

Is it normal that when checking with DX10 Fixer, Core0 is disabled (unchecked).

Will I have performance boost if this option for Core0 is enabled.

 

Thanks

AffinityMask 14 is for a 4-core CPU without hyperthreading enabled... it is the decimal equivalent of 1110, (8+4+2+0 = 14), Core 0 is disabled, Cores 1-3 are enabled...

 

If you set the affinity mask to 15, ie enabling all 4 cores, I don't think you will see any improvement, but try it and see

Thanks for explanation Andrew.

I might be mistaken, but leaving Core 0 disabled enables it to be used for other, non FSX/P3D tasks--running Plan-G, or ASN, etc., or even mundane Windows tasks.

Hi, Bert!  Yes, even that.  We missed you this afternoon on our "jaunt".

Would have loved to have been there... life got in the way..

Yes, it has a habit of doing that--life does.
