Jesse Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) WTF? False positive. Many scanners were calling any autoit files viruses but most scanners won't anymore. http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/810df5c2e415a770c6585633206d6264 You'll notice only 4/39 scanners came up positive. Those four do not include any of the larger names in virus detection.

SuDepp Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 ...how about starting TrackIR anyways in some silent mode?! Or maybe as an option to run it always silently? Just a thought....... ....hopefully AVAST will change the false positiv soon...

TheMoose Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I found a new affinity tool, works like a charm :thumbup: THG Task Assignment Manager http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bang-dual-processing-buck,815.html Antec 900 gaming tower, PSU: Corsair 750W, Q6600, Asus P5K, 8Gig Mushkin, Nvidia eVGA 280 GTX Superclocked 1G DDR3, SSDNOW200 Kingston Drive, TrackIr 3000+Vector, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, Saitek rudder pedals pro, Sharp 42" inch LCD Aquo.

Guest Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I found a new affinity tool, works like a charm :thumbup: THG Task Assignment Manager http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bang-dual-processing-buck,815.html Be careful with that one. DCS will generally not work properly with any affinity tool that sets the affinity too quickly after DCS launches. That is why you see so many tools specifically for DCS, because they explicitly delay for some time before setting the affinity. I have not tested the utility you posted, but unless it inserts this delay, it is likely to be unreliable. In my experience, such tools work about 50% of the time. I suggest using one of the DCS specific tools, but obviously your experience may vary. Edited January 25, 2009 by wombat778
Yossarian Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) I have a 50% increase of fps with this tool. :thumbup: But only in combination with full screen. Without full screen this tool causes only a little increase of fps (< 5%). If I test the full screen without this tool, fps decrease compare to no full screen. What is the reason for that?

Vista 64 Intel Duo E 6750 You'd probably see a performance drop in most if not all games while running in windowed mode. It's just how it is.

Vista 64 Intel Duo E 6750 The most likely reason you don't see anything major with FPS in windowed mode is that your graphics card becomes the bottleneck rather than the CPU. Full screen.. your graphics card doesn't have all the overhead with running the game in a Window.. bottleneck switches back to CPU. [sIGPIC]Click me to go to the post[/sIGPIC]
Ramstein Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I downloaded and unzipped and tried the Affinity tool.. it says it's for Vista..!

koyan Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Here's one more Affinity/priority tool. PriFinnity, works like a charm with BS on Vista. The page says its for XP so should work? http://www.geocities.com/edgemeal_software/
klabo_71st Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Hello there. I have i7 CPU 920 It is not working . Getting error 1,2,3,4 CPU not found. When I input all manualy doesn't make any diference in performance:huh: 4 cores 8 thred. Well allso have 2x GTX 280 in SLI and no difer. Single GPU or two in SLI. ??? Any body knows why is THAT??? Thank u Edited March 5, 2009 by Klabo
WynnTTr Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 The tool only detects 4 cores. You have to disable multithreading in your bios. Don't worry it won't affect game performance in any way. In fact, some games will probably run better with it off.
Feuerfalke Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Here's one more Affinity/priority tool. PriFinnity, works like a charm with BS on Vista. The page says its for XP so should work? http://www.geocities.com/edgemeal_software/ Most if not all affinity/priority tools run in XP, too. The difference is, though, that you won't benefit from it, as XP does not support this technology. :smilewink: @ Klabo If you are refering to SLI performance in DCS BS: I remember some statements that SLI is not supported in BS, so you will not benefit from your second GPU in this game. To your CPU-problem: Where do you get the error message that you cannot find Core 1-4? In windows (which version btw) or in the affinity tool?

To your CPU-problem: Where do you get the error message that you cannot find Core 1-4? In windows (which version btw) or in the affinity tool? The tool only works with 2 or 4 cores. HT makes it 8 cores so the tool fails at that check.
Feuerfalke Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 So it doesn't allow you to even assign the 4 cores it should detect? Which affinity tool is he/are you using?

WynnTTr Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 So it doesn't allow you to even assign the 4 cores it should detect? Which affinity tool is he/are you using? Thought we were talking about this one: http://code.google.com/p/dcsbsaffinitytool/ If we are, then this only detects 2 or 4 cores and vista. If you have 8 cores due to HT, it'll give you an error msg and won't even start the app.
WynnTTr Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Maybe you could disable HT for DCS? Yep, as I stated in an earler post. HT atm does nothing for gaming... in some cases it's a fps decrease. It's a different case if you're doing other cpu intensive tasks, such as rendering.
klabo_71st Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 DCS:BS Affinity tool 21127 This error and I tryed PriFinitty no error but no diference in performance. ONLY when uncheck fuul screen in game option I get 30 FPS min 60 max and average 50. When I check full screen I get min 18FPS 60 max and 40 average. If I run with affinity tool in full screen I get again 30/60/50 FPS. AND no mater if I use single GPU or in SLI.
