UK_Widowmaker Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Hello Chaps Feel like a bit of a noob here!...have installed everything on new machine..all patches blah blah...done the tweaks from the FAQ etc....but am unhappy with the performance. Just seem to remember someone saying, you need to do something with a quadcore?...or is that my imagination? I'm sure I'll get it sussed....but if anyone can remind me if thats true, I'd be most grateful

I think that is one way to improve performance in OFF. Probably someone more knowledgeable can help you with better advice.
Wayfarer Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) UK_Widowmaker, I downloaded a 'dual core optimiser' for my AMD processor, from the AMD website, which helped with issues such as the game running at double speed. I don't know if there would be such a thing for quadcores from you processor manufacturer's site? I got that from the FAQs on the OFF website, there may be information about quadcores there.

UK_Widowmaker Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 thanks guys...I'll check it out
+DoctorQuest Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 What OS? I've had better luck running CFS3 under win7 than winxp from a multi-core performance perspective. I don't need to muck about with processor affinity with win7.
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah..I'm on W7 64...I think I've cracked it though...In the OFF manager settings...seems to be working fine now...thanks everyone
carrick58 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I run a x4 and I had to adjust the managers settings other wise no problem
Hellshade Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 which Manager settings are you guys talking about? Hellshade
Hellshade Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Yes sir, but what specific setting in OFF Manager are you guys talking about changing? Sorry, I should have been more clear. Hellshade
