Whats your CPU doing??


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to see how others CPU's are handling the Hornet.. if you can, post up a pic of your Task Manager CPU tab with graphs set to logical processors while flying a mission.. mostly want to see how saturated the Primary core gets...

NOTE: I don't have the F-18 yet so I just used my UH-1 - I'm using 2.5.2.17978 DCS

 

Here are my CPU Utilization snapshots. I am showing my 6 core at 4.2 Ghz with no mission before starting DCS, then with no ProcessLasso so it uses all 6 cores, then with ProcessLasso confining DCS to CPUs 1,2, and 3. I have read that DCS uses only 2 cores but it is hard to be sure of that since Windows will move a thread around amongst the cores if it wants to.

 

BTW, the Mission was with a Huey flying to land on the Stennis carrier with the rest of the task force destroyers and cruisers along with several flights of F-18s, AV-8s, CH-53s, and SH-60s.

Here is mine, sat on the ground 50fps setting very high

Interesting, it looks as if you have a bit more utilization on you other cores... but only after the primary core is completely saturated... Does it seem that DCS always uses the same core as the primary for you or does it alternate?

Whoa!!! now that looks good... how did you manage that utilization... looks almost evenly distributed on every core!!

In total, you use less than 2 or 3 cores?

 

 

well.. DCS supposedly runs on 2 cores, but can assign usage to more cores when needed if understand correctly.. Tools like process lasso can in some cases distribute utilization across more cores and and lighten the load on the primary core... On my system, with the Hornet, i have one core being pushed very hard at times processing all the game data, and one core processing audio.. but others seem to have thier load spread differently, and i imagine more optimally for the sake of performance..

I don't know if i'm right... DCS i̶s was a single thread program (one thread for the game and one for the sound), gradually reprogram to use more threads (multi-threading). That doesn't mean that you need more cores at the moment. Threads are spread all over the cores, the CPU utilization tells you how many cores that you need. Of course, the target is to put more load calculation on your CPU. Which is inevitably going to ask for more cores.

Sounds about right... would prefer less saturation on one core though.. at times my prumary core is completely saturated and all others are basically sitting idle... with the hornet, it is much more so than with ither modules... but it seems we have different result on other systems.

Here's a video from the benchmarking thread I made. I do not have process lasso or anything else like that overriding core assignments. At a consistent 20% cpu usage, that's only 2.5 threads being used and that's with a million background tasks, including recording. Pretty sure DCS is only running on 2 threads, with thread 11 being the main and the second being thread 9.

Yep.. that looks about the same as what im getting... that primary core takin the heat.. thanks for the vid Beasty.:thumbup:
