Process Lasso: Bitsum. Real-time CPU Optimization and Automation

Are you using quadviews in PimaxXR runtime? Also pay attention to Pimax render quality setting vs DCS Pixel Density (mine is Pimax "Maximum" with PD at 1.5). If I run PD at 2.0 I get the stutters and jerking back.

I made an aluminium bracket and velcroed it to the head-unit.

I'm mystified who buys this without it being a complete setup for all grips, with the user having to do nothing more than connect the cable and then screw the grip on. EG, ready to go out the box just like a Virpil base and Virpil grip. I guess it's for the minority of people who have access to 3D printers and/or a machine-shop?

I think it's "waiting" for you to fire up the game.

Is it 'out of stock'? Lol. And are there plans to provide pass-through hand-tracking for it?

Pass-through hand-tracking:

Ohhh, that is some clever shizzle! When is Pimax going to do it!

So Intel have proven incapable (at this point) of writing a piece of software (microcode patch) that addresses the problem for their own hardware. That's genuinely breathtaking. They wrote it, tested it, saw there were still dangerous spikes but went ahead and released it anyway. Just...WTF?!

That is a seriously impressive setup. HMOG territory. My only concern would be keeping on top of all the software functionality. That and all those cables.

Same issue I had with the Leap Motion 2, its software reported that the Crystal port was both USB 2.0 and underpowered. I'm pretty sure it was the Leap's cable causing the problem.

How is it working? Any noticeable heat from it?

They're not on back-order, they stopped having them produced. However, after being nagged one of their reps posted a poll to see if there is a financial incentive to do what they should be obligated to do to honour advertised features of a product that's not even remotely near 'end of life'. Which is why I won't be upgrading to the Super. Who knows what features will be trumpeted at the start to get the money rolling in, then dumped when it suits their margins.

No sign of it coming with a base floor-mounting plate.

Is it safe now to update the apps?

My mistake, it wasn't globally maxed at 4.9GHz, it was in just the one test I was running (no idea why however). I now have it locked to a max of 5.5GHz and it doesn't go higher than around 85c in DCS (so far, lol).

Yes, it's perfect for anything other than hard dogfighting and until it throttled itself I was very happy with it.

Brunner are fraudulent advertisers too in my opinion; not by what they claim but by what they don't say. I bought their MK1 base and it reduced and then cut power in under a minute of sustained-turn dogfighting. It's now an obscenely expensive waste of cupboard-space.

DCS running on the monitor (Mig21 over Caucasus), full-screen, at 3480x2160, the CPU runs at full speed (5.5GHZ) but only 23% utilization. GPU (4090) is at 40% utilization. It has gone back to idle after shutting down the game though.

...aaand...at idle, power is around 25w (browser open), temp fluctuates around 40c, CPU utilization around 3%. Something is bent. The CPU should return to idle after a task is finished but it doesn't, it maintains whatever state it was last in. Maybe it's broken or the BIOS is fubar.

Still weird behaviour. At idle both CPU-Z and HWMonitor show the CPU min and max speed at 5.5GHz and wattage around 20w. When I run Cinebench (supposedly a hard-core tester) the values fluctuate between min 4.8GHz and max 5.2GHz, with power at 207w. Maybe I have a false memory but back when I used to OC my rigs a test (Prime-95 mostly) would always push the CPU to the max speed I'd set it at in the BIOS. Cinebench is a 10-minute test. On the CPU multicore test it scored 1831. Max temp reached was 83c. I'm completely unfamiliar with a CPU that idles at 5.5GHz with a power-draw of around 20w but will then run at a max of 5.2GHz and a min of 4.8GHz under test. On top of that, even though the test is finished but with the app window still open, the CPU is still running at 207w and 83c. Now I've closed the app window, no change. I'm going to reboot the PC...

I have it set at max 5.5GHz, temps have gone no higher than 85c with tests pushing the clock to 5.3GHz (neither test will push it to run faster) and power at 217w (max is 253w). I'm happy with that. Thanks for the input guys. Going to give Cinebench a go next.

So...don't update either app and continue to use them. In other news...ready-meals bought from Tesco may not be cooked in Brand-X microwaves, due to Brand-X not getting Tesco's permission. Or sumfink like dat. And ED makes more money because a percentage of users buy it due to 3rd-party products that significantly enhance it. It's a two-way deal, in which one might wonder who should be paying who. Answer...nobody, due to mutual benefit.

Good video. If we apply the 'Previous Pimax Experience Filter' however, I'm confident nobody will be getting a Super for xmas. Lol. And that's the pre-orders. Maybe summer of next year they might be readily available (in stock) on outlets like Amazon. I hope to be proved wrong of course.

Yeah, I figure P95 isn't as brutal as CPU-Z. "Performance CPU Clock Ratio" at 57 obviously limits (limits?! Lol) the speed to 5700 on the base clock of 100. No hiccups in either test with power limited to 253w but the package temp still hits 95c. I think I'll reduce it to 55, though I doubt DCS would push useage that hard anyway. What I was able to find was a post asking what "Synch all Cores" on ASUS BIOS translated into on Gigabyte BIOS and the answer was "Enhanced Multi-Core Performance". The overall thrust of the stuff in the original post was to fix motherboards (all brands apparently) from allowing unlimited wattage AND voltage-spiking single cores in turbo mode.
