muamshai Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Operating System: Windows 2008 RC2 Server x64 (available for free from DreamSpark if you are a student or work in academic area). Processor: AMD 1055T It seems that BlackShark can take some advantage of 6 Core CPU Screenshot: opinions?

Nate--IRL-- Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Try benchmarking a track, with 1 core, 2 cores and then 6 cores, to get a definitive answer.

muamshai Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 alrighty, how can I do so with different number of cores? This space is available for your advertisement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The simple way to do it is assign the cores for simulator.exe with windows task manager The more complicated way to do it is to open the autoexec.cfg in the config folder and change the line --> affinity_mask = 0 to this for 2 cores --> affinity_mask = 3 to this for 3 cores --> affinity_mask = 7 back to this for all cores --> affinity_mask = 0 Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumfire Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) click on the processes tab in task manager and then right click on the simulator.exe and select affinity, then untick all cpu's except cpu0 for 1 core, and then select cpu0+1 for 2 cores etc etc EDIT: Snap, Nate got there a second or so before me, follow his example of doing it, to save any confusion.

topdog Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 You might want to close Opera before the next benchmark and screenshots too... :music_whistling: [ i7 2600k 4.6GHz :: 16GB Mushkin Blackline LV :: EVGA GTX 1080ti 11GB ] [ TM Warthog / Saitek Rudder :: Oculus Rift :: Obutto cockpit :: Acer HN274H 27" 120Hz :: 3D Vision Ready ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distiler Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 6 cores at 20% = 2 cores at 60% It's more like directx is "separating" threads in the process, not that the sim is optimized for multicore cpu (outside the sound engine that has its own thread).

muamshai Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks guys. I'll do it tomorrow after exam, and will post the results. CPU is not overclocked, and I didn't play with Blackshark configuration file. You might want to close Opera before the next benchmark and screenshots too... I think Opera doesn't have an noticeable effect on CPU utilization. This space is available for your advertisement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sorry to burst your bubble. But like previous poster said looking at the process and task manager is not a good way to go about measuring how well your cores a utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 All I see is threads being jumping from one core to the other. If it was truly multithreading then all charts would be leveled at the same time intervals, not swapped between them.
