There is a slight side effect where the sim runs a little slower. It also works around an issue where the game randomly starts up with unusually bad performance (likely due to threading issues). Sound crackles that were caused by threading issues go away. It makes the game more fluid and responsive, especially when zoomed in. It will lengthen the time you can play before the game eventually slows down (every CPU has a limit). Sometimes the benefit is huge, especially late game. The impact for skirmish play is always beneficial for any multi core or hyperthreaded CPU. Most benefits of the tool begin when normal SupCom would usually use all of a particular CPU core, reaching 100%. This is explained in detail in the multithreading topic I started. This causes performance limitations especially with rendering as well as choppy sound, etc. Normally with SupCom, the first CPU is oversaturated and their are multiple threads that fight for resources on that core. The Core Maximizer improves the splitting of threads of SupCom across available CPU's for multi core or hyperthreaded processors. I wanted to make a seperate topic here for the tool, something I should have initially done. Great response btw Apoppin, good to see actual based Benches.My original topic on multithreading, where this tool was first introduced for testing, wasn't really supposed to be about the tool primarily, but it turned out to be. I will concur with you that For this game it does show Quad having advantage and some games will come out that do, why wouldn't it, but for those waiting on July 22nd, if you don't use Adobe stuff or other quad based Apps and are looking for gaming ( I think alan wake will be the first game to really really show Quad advantage which comes out mid 2008), i would think a E6850 is a better choice than Q6600. If you say thats a huge difference, than I'm incorrect. and the E6850 is 38-40 avg (these are all estimates from reviews and benches and assuming you'll be overclocking both the Q6600 and E6850) then we see a 2 FPS advantage. So if we just say the FPS on a Q6600 is round 40-41 Avg. On july 22nd the E6850 (prob faster than the X6800 after oc) will be equivlant (in price) to the Q6600 which is a big difference than the QX6700, I believe the Q6700 will be comparable which is 520 bucks comparing to 266. Id have to say im a lil towards the "Left side" on this.Īgain no ones saying that having a Quad is not going to better than Dual core for this game, but if you see the Benches the difference is not "Rembarkable" or HUGE, its minimal, in game spots benches you see a QX6700 at 43 FPS and a X6800 at 38. Im def going to buy a Quad in the future but not now, and prob wont even think about it till alan wake comes out which will be mid 2008. While i understand and get that for this game if you have a quad you'll have a harder time being bottlenecked but at the DC your not getting NON PLAYABLE settings. You can also check gamespot for an old supreme commander feature. q6600 vs e6700) because if you look on the MANY MANY other review sites for say a 8800 Ultra and the benchmarks for Supreme Commander are at 35-65FPS at Max settings. The one thing i wanted to say is Hardocp is a great site, but i think they shouldve used seperate CPU for dual core vs quad core (ie. I dont really want to choose any sides or anything, im in the boat where july 22 im either gonna get a Q6600 or a E6850, im leaning towards the 6850 because of G0 stepping and because ive seen posts OC'ing to 4Ghz on Air, and im using it as a gaming machine. Slightly off-topic: There is a very good article at AT front page regarding Games and memory.
The test will be done using 8800 GTX, and where CPU performance isn't hindered by visual settings.
#Supcom Core Maximizer 32 bit
I download and test bunch of sharewares on it, run Virtual PC which hosts Server 2003 and Vist 32 bit (trial versions), and of course this rig is a god-send for encoding movies.īut rest assured that I didn't start the thread with these rigs in mind. On the other hand, I use my quad-core rig much more liberally. I used to game at 19x12 (up till 5 days ago?) and now at 25x16. The software/hardware speed is way ahead of my brain activity. And for office apps, what's slow is my brain most of the time anyway.
#Supcom Core Maximizer install
I only install what's needed, or proven stable programs. In short, the DFI rig has been solid for quite some time and I try to keep it mean and slim.
#Supcom Core Maximizer driver
Hardware test, Lots of downnloads and install/uninstall, New video card driver test, Virtual OSes, and encoding for my Zune, etc. Rig 1: Productive work (Office and financial proggies), Games, and other known good quality applications/drivers But I know it's here so I will get to it ASAP. (I must have misplaced it) I'm moving soon so lots of things are packed, and the tiny CD envelope is hard to find. Sorry I'm looking for the installation disk.
