Hello everyone!

I was just wondering whether the AMD dual core optimizer should be applied to my AMD quad core computer as well? I am running Vista64 and see that affinity mask is sing all four cores, but does this really mean Im running the four cores as well as one can without this optimizer patch?

............. As the owner of an Intel Quad, I can safely say: There are NO flight simulations, OFF included, that occupy more than 2 cores. The exception being the military ...........

 

Rise of Flight will soon give all your dual and quad cores a good workout. Reports are a 30% to 40% increase in speed if you have a quad core processor over the same speed dual core. See the review here: http://www.simhq.com/_air12/air_400a.html

 

Now if the'yd only get this thing done!

There is an old saying, and one that I happen to believe in. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". As the owner of an Intel Quad, I can safely say: There are NO flight simulations, OFF included, that occupy more than 2 cores. The exception being the military

 

Well FSX can use something like 256 cores, supposedly.... But then that took three releases and still leaves much to be desired as far as optimizing CPU performance. I guess it's obvious then that overall processor speed is more important than number of cores for code written nearly a decade ago now. The dream of OFF4 as a standalone product truely optimized for dual and quad and integrated seemlessly into 64bit... That's the plan right guys? :rolleyes:
