=FB=VikS Member Registered: 04/14/04 Posts: 391	Originally Posted By: Ming_EAF19 Will the two cores of a Core Duo CPU be actively working on simulation tasks rather than one core doing operating system housekeeping and not actively making the sim run at higher framerate ROF have separated threads architecture, so two/four cores will work. Actually we have exact numbers of trials of core duo vs core quad, and core quad works 30-40% faster than core duo with ROF Quote: Has the PhysX API any chance of being used under RoF and future son-of-RoF simulations btw? Ming Negative for release (we just havnt time to do it right now). Edited by =FB=VikS (02/24/09 06:55 AM) _________________________ VikS Flying BARANS Forever!

VF-2 John Banks Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 2427 Loc: Berlin, Germany	Good to hear Viks! I am glad i invested for the Quadcore. 30-40% is quite alot for a simulation. Right now i am trying to overclock my videocard to the absolute maximum. I am on 720/1020 Mhz. Although my card is mediocre at best, i hope it wont be stressed too much by RoF and that the sim but's more load to the CPU rather than the GPU, especially with multicore support, where visual stuff could be put into CPU #3 or #4. _________________________ Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, 4x 2.66 GHz, 12 MB L2 Cache Total, 1.333 MHz FSB, 45 nm (@ 3.62 Ghz) ASUS P5QC, P45 chipset, FSB 1.600 MHz ASUS Silent Knight II CPU Cooler PALIT GTX570, 1.280 MB DDR5 RAM, PCIe, dual DVI/HDMI TOSHIBA 37" LCD Win 7 Home Pro 64bit 240 GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Gamer 2x4GB GEIL DDR3 Value RAM ANTEC PSU 750W TrackIR3 Pro HOTAS Cougar with "Uber NxT" gimbal mod SIMPED F-16 Pedals SAITEK Throttle Quadrant pair of leather gloves

I'm going rabid in a minute stand back I believe it too, gets better the more I hear about it. Shooting for the stars I'm in Quote: The war in heaven Very nice I like that, shades of Milton and Blake Same here frank or franks, quad core next time. Not sure my EVGA 680i SLI motherboard can handle quad core though, Core 2 Duo E6700 at 3.33GHz at the moment.

We have some, actually ROF FMB had wide range of triggers sistem, so you can make almost a dinamic style mission. _________________________ VikS Flying BARANS Forever!

Ming_EAF19 Babelfish Immune Veteran Registered: 09/22/04 Posts: 10617 Loc: London	ROF FMB had wide range of triggers That sounds interesting VikS, can you tell us more and maybe give us an example please? Could an AI flight detect incoming enemy planes and scramble to take off to intercept them? I am hoping that your triggers are my triggers, to avoid ambiguity and perhaps disappointment 101% real will do me FR Ming _________________________ 'You are either a hater or you are not' Roman Halter

BuddyWoof Member Registered: 04/22/08 Posts: 620	Viks, one more question on the multicore..... In DCS:BS, currently windows vista owners are enjoying higher framerates with the same multicore setup as windows XP owners. Have you noticed any performance differences between XP and Vista? Will vista perform better than XP with same multicore hardware as we see in DCS:BS? Thank you. Edited by BuddyWoof (02/24/09 07:05 PM)
