Well well well after a long battle I have come across a proper affinity selection program called Prifinitty2 [Redacted] This is badass!!!! What can I say Its such a great feeling to watch all 8cores dance while sitting in my mech bay SWEET JEEBUZ!

After careful assessment and double check with setting inside program, I can set the affinity how I please oh lawd this is heavy. can run all 8cores or remove program changes and revert to only 4 as before pffft not likely.

Huh, I still can't get my fx8320 to work with 8 cores on Windows 8.

Also, would you mind doing a couple comparative benchmarks when you get a chance?

[ORIGINAL SteelWolf]

I am intrigued.

[Smokeyjedi]

Had to do some running around this afternoon, I haven't managed to upload much to MWO forums in general but I will make a fraps video and give it a go.

I dont understand how this will help unless you have an obvious bottleneck with your CPU/GPU.

utilizing 8 threads vs utilizing 4 threads is a no brainer............they all dance around 30-50%load now rather than 4 cores selected at a time to run MWO using pegged around 75-100% for me....before....... When my kid goes to sleep I will produce a video, Shes apparently not ready to le me do that yet.

This is like CCC that allowed you to put Crysis Physics on whatever core you wanted (4-core CPU has cores 0-3 and I put mine on 3). Used it whilst playing MW:LL.

Well despite my efforts to put it back to 4threads only I cannot undo the things Ive done, I cannot un see the things My Fx has seen, Im guessing this program has changed or modified some registry line somewhere, I haven't tracked it down, but really that's hardly a complaint. I pressed 3 mouse clicks watched my thread count of active threads double and now I cant go back. go figure. I can see I have just barely fit myself into this rabbit hole.........I shall return.

You could maybe try disabling 4 cores in the bios.

That would disable them completely, I want them to be active but not used by MWO, and through park control and Prifinitty2 I managed to lock the cores as desired. I can run 4 as usual so the load bounces around from 1 to 8 randomly, and I can even disable or park cores 2,4,6,8, so that I run strict quad core Fx with unchanging cores(stops bouncing around SMTstyle)........ and so far the full enchilada with all 8 pistons firing is the best as I can tell so far heres a video, showing how default can take massive hit to FPS when pretty stuff happens with only 4 cores @ 4.5ghz **edit**when I watched this here I could not see the FPS counter dip to 14FPS.........stupid lower left overlay.....

http://youtu.be/e9wOv9t_KJg **note my framerate without recording at (30FPS) in that very map and at that very commando and 50M distance is about 45-50now........before i shoot.staying well above 30FPS for a much smoother overall play.This is the big bad OC 8350 @ 4.5 lol, I turned the clock down 300mhz due to the heat and humidity were having here.....but still this is a huge noticeable difference, the minute and a half that has timed by in MWOs game is when I swapped to desktop and changed affinity to 8cores.......to release the beast!. im most definitely going to try to make other games I have run all 8cores..........more to come soon. **Hell It has even tamed my heat a wee bit but not having any single core work harder than 60% dropped from 40-43C CPU in mechbay (10min period) to a now pleasant 35-38C(10mins).Im convinced.

I need to get mine running on all of my cores

download the program linked in my original post, set MWOclient to favourite, than change your favourite(MWOclient.exe)settings to include all bulldozer cores 0-7 and select realtime affinity, watch them puppies dance. and minumum FPS go up.*now that it has cooled off here I may try to OC back to 4.8 to see what happens

Pairs of cores in the FX share the cache.

It is using all 8 cores.

[LordDeathStrike]

are you using a quad core cpu with 8 threads, or one of those shoddy amd 8 core 8 thread cpus?

my new laptop is coming with a hex 6 core 12 thread i7 stock clocked at 4 ghz, cant wait to let mwo run at full throttle with the 780s in sli and no bottlenecks.

Indeed I use Fx8350 LC @ 4.5-4.8ghz, but MWO has never utilized ANY more than 4 threads of it. EVER, Now run it full blown @ 8 threads. I will try to apply this to other games I own that don't fully utilize all threads.

Intel/Nvidia spec you need for maxed 1080p @60fps is an i5-3470 and GTX660. That's AA and vsync on too.

Video recording requires AA and vsync off though so that's where you'll have an advantage.

[superbob]

how did that happen?
