hahahahahahaso you have it set one way, then open up affinity which does nothing, observe the effect, then try to rationalize it by saying when you *uncheck a box* which restricts it to one core THEN you see a decrease in performance.well, duh, gj. but you're not doing anything.
Reading comprehension is your friend. That is NOT what I said.
1. Observe CPU capped at 52% overall when playing.
2. Observe CPU 1 maxed out.
3. Observe CPU 2 idle.
4. Check affinity of Sins exe
5. Observe both CPU's checked. !!!! Although clearly not running on both !!!!
6. Accept both checked, observe load now balanced across both CPUs.
7. OR - Uncheck CPU 2 and observe NO CHANGE in behavior - app still isolated to CPU1.
8. OR - Uncheck CPU 1 and observe the app switch to the other (single) core.
#7 is the same as doing nothing. Repeatable ad nauseum.
So, as I stated before, the 2nd already checked box that I find in step 5 does NOT reflect the current state, it reflects the suggested setting. And it is not a placebo, what you check (or accept) in the boxes is accurately reflected in the CPU usage graph. Before and after, whenever.
If I ever unselect a CPU, and go back in, it will no longer "suggest" it by checking the box. But it will do so the first time every time. AND it is NOT initially running on both.
So stop being dense and drooling on yourself while you laugh at me. The point was that some people are only using half their CPU, until folks started telling me I didn't know what I was seeing...
