Posted this in rF2 forum, and thought it would be applicable to rF as well.
Alot of talk recently about disabling hyperthreading and assigning processor affinity to the rFactor2.exe process.
I guess everyone gets much better performance from rF1 than rF2, but was wondering if the same thing happens for rF1.
Has anyone tried some benchmarks/tests to see if running rF1 on the physical cores (0,2,4,6) makes a difference as opposed to running against physical and logical cores (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) ?
I am able to assign both rFactor.exe priority and processor affinity in the task manager, by right clicking on the process and selecting those in the drop down menu.
I have seen others use the 'start' command or the '+procmask' argument to rFactor.exe
Funny thing is if I check the rFactor.exe in Task Manager when I start with the following shortcut:
"C:\ISI\rFactor\F1_1967\rFactor.exe" +fullproc +highprio +procmask=5
I do not see the rFactor.exe process priority as High, or an affinity to my first 2 physical cores...
So...does using these command arguments even work?
Does not look like it does, if you check Task Manager while running rF...
