I see.
I dont think the settings carry over after a reboot. Not even after a restart of the program, I would assume.
I was just wondering if you could get the same performance/effect just using task manager cpu affinity settings, which It seems like - even if its easier/more convenient with PL.
In my case I would like to have the 9950X3D to disable the no X3D CCD and become it in a ā9800X3Dā and watch what happens with its 0.5Ghz more with not throttling and its more Cache I think it has also, and in wattage consuming in that state I would be interested, and test it in FS20/24, I am tempted to buy it to tinker haha.
Should work on Win10 and Win11
You will see āSet Affinityā and āSet Priorityā (which answers my previous question.)
Iām pretty sure PL is a GUI that controls exactly these things in Task Manager.
You know the 9950X3D is fully unlocked for overclocking, right?
And Iām curious how you are getting 100% load on that CPU.
Basically though, you are correct that @ 4K (and especially in VR) the simās performance is far more dependent on the GPU.
The Intel chip uses a lot more power, and generates more heat. Thatās important to a lot of gamers.
Iāll just quote Gamers Nexus, who take into account the totality of things without confirmation bias:
āIntel, on the other hand, is out of this conversation right now. They are not part of the high-end expensive CPU for gaming build scenario at the moment.ā
The problem is not overclocking itās the AMD 3D V-Cache
This is no different than system RAM or GPU RAM. Once that 3D V-Cache is filled up and it happens quickly, processing 4K the 3D V-Cache becomes the bottle neck. in the system. So no matter how hard you overclock the processor, its not going to make a meaningful difference on a steady basis once that 3D V-Cache if filled.
Now remember this does NOT include 1080p or 1440p AMD is KING
I have also delidded my 14900ks and the cooler sits right on the CPU die, so I do not have a heat spreader on my 14900KS but You dont need a custom loop like I have
A half-way descent AIO cooler like a Kraken Elite would do you wonders for more FPS and no worry of thermal throttling
As for how I can run my CPU under 100% load stress tests like Prime 95 this program will fry your CPU, and if you can stress your CPU on this program without crashing, your CPU will run stable no matter what you throw at it.
I donāt want to get into an ego contest here. Letās just say Iāve spent almost a third of my life building and optimizing high-end computers, and the past three years tweaking mine in the search for better performance. Take that for what itās worth.
Thanks for explaining the 100% thing. I wrongly assumed you meant you were getting 100% core usage during flights. Prime95 is a good test. So is OCCT Core Cycle using AVX512, Handbrake (which definitely drives my CPU to its thermal limits) and others, like GeekBench and PassMarkās CPU tests.
Iāll never disparage your choice of an Intel 14900KS. Itās a fine CPU. Youāve done what you need to do to keep that furnace both stoked and under control. Well done.
No ego bro not at all was just trying to help and give you facts
I am the kind of person who likes to back up his talk with proof.
I see too many people on this forum who, although I am sure they have good intentions, have absolutely no Idea of what they speak
So forgive me if I came across crass, because that was not my intention
Thereās such a broad spectrum of computer configurations, and a broad spectrum of user experience. I appreciate your willingness to share your methods with your system, and the results you are able to get. A prime example of why what works for me, but isnāt the best idea for you is Process Lasso. Iāve come to the conclusion that itās a must for dual-CCD AMD CPUās. But Iāve heard too many experts say itās detrimental to Intel P-core / E-core CPUās. So I heartily recommend it to other 7950X3D (and soon 9950X3D) users, but not to others, and definitiely not to Intel guys.
As far as testing goes, Iām much the same. Iāve posted god knows how many graphs here (after literally weeks of testing) with variations in my system configuration, and posted the results that I believe give me the best results with my 7950X3D and 3090 Ti combo. I will someday upgrade the GPU, but prices need to become more realistic for the incremental changes Iād be able to achieve with a $1000 GPU.
Iām happy when anyone - even Xbox users - can report quality flight time. Itās why weāre here, and why we PC users do what we do in the pursuit of stability and performance, right?
I agree with everything you said.
And $3500. for a 5090 will NEVER happen in my book. One thing I have found in MSFS 2020 and 2024 no matter how much money you throw at it you will never be happy with the TAA performance in VR but now that FSR3 is here, things have changed
Now I just purchased a brand new 7900xtx that has 24GB of ram $1100
Not cheap but when under water comes very very close to a 4090, and I now have 24GB of ram to play with for less money
And the FSR3 is much clearer than DLSS at least on my AMD card. I see no ghosting in the ribbon tape at all and with almost all settings, High / Ultra I can sit in a 172 Cessna at about 123 FPS in 1440p at Verticalsims KTPA airport, and believe me, that airport is not optimized one little bit,
Now next month I am getting my Big Screen Byond 2 I have had a Crystal and a Crystal light and other than having a lead weight strapped to my head, I was always happy with the VR. But I will take a little loss in the resolution for the comfort and OLED screens. But we will see how she runs when it gets here.
Anyway, I am rambling on here, this is what happens to you when you retire 
Not far behind you! I just turned 66 and am looking at 2-4 more years employed, depending on how I feel in 2 years.
Iām hoping FSR with SU2 will allow me to do quality frame gen with my 3090 Ti 24GB. That way I can begin to think about investing in a good VR headset like the ones you mentioned. Looking forward to your review of the BSB2 - itās on my short list.
Iām actually quite excited at the prospect!
3090 Ti is a beast you will have no problems running decent frames
I recently upgraded to 9950x3d with the 5090. Using process lasso started causing problems in my case (stutters). I decided to just do a clean windows reinstall and kept everything at default and the sim is running much smoother, even at tlod 400. Only issue is the rolling cache, it causes micro stutters and sound issues. Iām just manually deleting rolling cache before I start the game.
