November 23, 20178 yr I'm running Affinity Mask 85 with HT on obviously on a 4 core. This means that P3D is running on the 4 physical cores, 0,2,4,6. My question is for those running this AM, where are you putting your background programs like Activesky, ACARs, ASCA, TrackIR? Currently I have it on virtual cores, LP5 and LP7. Want to make sure I have it set up correctly. Eric
November 26, 20178 yr Commercial Member I always thought that an AM with v4 was unnecessary as v4 already uses what it can in terms of cores with an AM making little to no difference.
November 26, 20178 yr I've found that the other half of physical core 1 is the most consistently under-tasked by P3D. The cores beyond core 1 load way up during texture loading. Also, P3Dv4 seems to make use of HT for texture loading, so I enable both sides of cores 3-4 to that end (AM=245 / 0xF5 / 11110101). I set other processes to AM=8 (or 12 / x0C if they use Simconnect and need a second LP) Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

November 26, 20178 yr AM=244 here (11 11 01 00). I fly GA exclusively and have only two add-ons: using an AM=3 for Active Sky, and AM=2 for the Flight1 GTN. This config gives me the smoothest performance on my 4790K @ 4.8GHz/16GB/1080. HTH, Greg
November 26, 20178 yr I'm also using 85 for P3D on a 4790K. For all other programs/addons I use an AM of 168, which assigns them to LP 3,5,7. Most important thing is to keep everything off LP 0,1. That's the key for a smooth experience. Marc Marc Weber

AM=8 is 00001000, 12 is 00001100. That's LP 3, or 2+3 if it uses Simconnect.
