jorgen.s.andersen Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I finally got myself a new rig and it runs just fine now. A question for FSX.CFG, though: what should AffinityMask be set to? The CPU is a i7-6700 4-core, and I have seen suggestions for a value of 14 or 15 for such a beast - what would the gentle readers recommend? Also, this CPU runs at 3.4 GHz as installed on an ASUS Z170-A motherboard, so some overclocking would probably be in order. Does anyone have recommendations for good overclocking sites? Thanks in advance for any suggestions - Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptCaveman Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Extremely important for affinity mask - Is hyper threading active? As for OC sites - I recommend http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/ Dedicated bunch of OC'ers with extensive knowledge of all aspects of doing so.

il88pp Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 For the affinity mask number, check Kosta's wonderful guide. If explains it very clearly. In case it looks confusing don't worry, no need to do all his tweaks. This tweak is completely separate. (Others go in pairs sometimes.) https://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBKHOU Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Four threads 14. If you use hyper-threading, which I do, "eight threads" 84. BTW, there is this.. http://www.gatwick-fsg.org.uk/affinitymask.aspx?SubMenuItem=hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ja, ganz schön! i7-6770 @ 3.4 GHz (höher später), 16 GB DDR4 RAM 2133, Gigabyte GTX 960/4 GB. Nun aufsparen für SSD - aber diese sind leider sehr teuer. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
