I see some people setting AM=243 for their 4770 i7. Here is my CPU with nothing, will AM=243 help with blurry textures and performance?

This is not your CPU, but your GPU, and the simple answer to your question is: No.

No Am , no HT . Core ) is the mainj thread and the other 5 cores are for terrain loading.

Here one of my 2 batch files :

@Echo off
net sess>NUL 2>&1||(powershell try{saps '%0'-Verb RunAs}catch{}&exit)
pushd "C:\Prosim737"
start /affinity 10 Prosim737.exe
timeout /T 10 /nobreak
pushd "C:\ProsimMCP"
start /affinity 20 ProsimMCP.exe
timeout /T 5 /nobreak
pushd "C:\ProsimPanel"
start /affinity 34 ProsimPanel.exe
timeout /T 5 /nobreak
pushd "C\OpusFSI"
start /affinity 20 C:\OpusFSI\FSISERVER.EXE
timeout /T 10 /nobreak
pushd "C:\IOcards\SIOC"
start /affinity 10 C:\IOcards\SIOC\sioc.exe
timeout /T 5 /nobreak
pushd "C:\Program Files (x86)\FSPS\Dolby Cockpit Sounds FSX"
start /affinity 40 C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FSPS\"Dolby Cockpit Sounds FSX"\"Dolby Cockpit Sounds FSX.exe"

 

Affinity :

• 10 = cores 1 + 3
• 34 = cores 1 + 5
• 20 = 2 + 4
• 40 = 3 + 5

Gerard, is there any specific reason why you don't allocate 2 consecutive cores for an add-on but rather one over another?

Anybody has an idea?

Thanks!

It was an advice from SteveW

Hey guys

i have an a i7 4790k

2 titans sc sli 6gb each 

no AM

i just used process lasso and unticked core 0 and 1 from P3d v4.1 exe 

at kmsp Taking off  panning and looking at terminal I get high cpu spikes on 2-7 

 

dynamic lighting off

seems pretty smooth most of time

Any help is appreciated 

 

will also try 253

Also using Nvidia driver 388.43

by far the best I have used in a while

 

thanks

mike

Anyone please?

I am not sure you have a problem... what you are seeing is perfectly normal.

Process Lasso or AM can both accomplish the same thing,  to separate the P3D load from the load of addons.. 

What you are doing is perfectly OK.

AM=253 is the same as moving P3D off Core 1.  (only)

AM=244 is the same as moving P3D off Core 0,1, and 3.

Bert,

1111 1101 - why is it as moving P3D off Core 1?

I would think AM=15 (1111 1100) is as moving P3D off Core 1.

Do you have an idea in very general terms why many and I see a better performance with AM=253 over AM=255? (4 Cores HT On). What difference does that 01 allocation make for P3D? What in P3D does it move to LP3?

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

 

Right then.

I have been experimenting with various tweaks and settings, like most for as long as I can remember.

To this end, I have finally found the best, most staple and great looking P3D I have encountered.

I have used Process Lasso to move P3D to cores 3,4,5,6, every other process I moved to cores 0,1 & 2.

Fibre frame line in CFG to .2 or .33 very little difference.

In NVIDIA Inspector set Vsync to 1/2 refresh, TB on and set frame limiter to 30FPS and in the sim leave unlimited FPS and vsync & TB off.

Do not use Affinity Mask in CFG.

As i said have found this works perfectly on my Acer Preditor Laptop i4700 Nvidia 950M and have never been happier.

Dirk,  You first have to define what you mean by Core 1.. 

With HT on, there are 8 logical cores (Core0....Core7) on a quad Intel I7 processor.

P3D always puts its main load on the first logical core you make available.

P3D's secondary load goes on the second logical core you make available.

P3D's Scenery loading goes on the remaining cores.

With AM=253, (or Core1 unticked in the task manager, or moving P3D off Core1 in Process lasso),

you prevent P3D from putting the secondary load on Core1, but instead putting it on Core2.

That means that the first physical core (0,1)  has only one logical core loaded

and the second logical core idle.  P3D likes it that way, and you get smoother performance.

244 moves everything over by two logical cores and gives Windows the first two logical cores

for its housekeeping tasks.   That is actually what I use.

BTW  (1111 1100) is 252, not 15...

Why leave the last core (7) unassigned?  Might as well give it to P3D...

Typo, meant all the remaining cores, 0-2 anything none P3D and all the other cores 3-7 to P3D, trouble with only having 5 fingers, lost count of how many cores. I notice that the spread across the cores works out pretty even and there is plenty of spare capacity on 0-2. No stutters and a constant 30FPS, the only exception is if I have the Orbx England and UK 2000 Heathrow, but if I switch of the Orbx, mid-twenties is OK with me. The Majestic Dash q400 is amazing with these settings and the PMDG all work great.

I got confused with Cores and Logical Processors, and "two logical processors" in context 0 and 1 "are the same core",  but I got you.

Is "P3D's secondary load" what some call "fiber"?

I tried AM=244 and experienced obvous micro stutters when looking at the terrain. Why would you really want to give Windows as much as 2 first LPs for its housekeeping tasks when Prepar3D is running? Many people mentioned that Windows does not use much for its tasks and I checked it myself with Process Lasso and I saw that after moving P3D to LP 2 then LPs 0 and 1 become almost idle or very lightly loaded.

 

Any idea if AM=253 (1111 1101) and AM=254 (1111 1110) make any difference for Prepar3D?

Thanks,  

I used 254 for testing and it runs rly smooth. But now for testing i delete the cfg for other test. But 254 was rly smooth
