• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?&showtopic=241915 Note.....You must read thru the entire thread for all the knowledge..The Affanitys set at the top ultimately turn into Affinity=15 in the end.......Just as with socket 775 were..... This is a fast and quick way to limit / loose stutters .... It did on my Quad socket 775 Q9550....
 
I haven't had a lot of time to do any detailed testing since building my new rig, but the affinity mask did work for me also. Before, I was getting the "microstutters", especially when in spot view and panning around the plane. It does load a lot slower with the hyperthreading turned OFF, I'm planning on testing and monitoring the temps this weekend with it turned ON to see if I can still benefit from the faster load times.
