processor affinity

Post by prince1000 »

what is the default processor affinity for xp with a dual core system? i changed quake3.exe, which was only set to cpu0 in taskmanager, to both and now i cant get it to go back to just the 1 cpu. i dont know if every process was set to both cpus but q3 definitalty was not. this is with r_smp 1, dont know if that matters.

anyway, im getting like 10fps in q3 now and even when i uncheck cpu1 for quake3.exe it hangs when i quit or disconnect.

wtf did i do?!?!?! :icon33:

alright, reinstalled nforce and display drivers after updating amd driver and everything seems to be working ok though i do get fluctuations in timedemo between 300 and 560+ fps. should i bother with the amd dual core optimizer or not?

Hmm, I've never had any problems with having affinity to both CPU 0 and 1. Only problems I could think of were for KOTOR II which was immediately fixed by installing dual-core compatible GeForce drivers for my card.
