By editing the pifast.bat file with "pause" in the top line you can set the affinity and priority before pressing enter to run the bench. Is this allowed?

Thanks for the tip

It will not help

Pausing the batch file you can set priority only for cmd.exe, but not for pifast41.exe

Ok well the main thing I use it for is to ALT + ENTER to full screen so I can run it without graphics drivers installed

@jmke: I am doing that for years with the help of a little app, helps e.g. AM3 drasticly. I described the procedure once on XS.org

There is a little app for this? Cool!

Would you care to drop a linky to the piece in question? (I know, I'm too lazy to go look)

Here........Take it in high priority mode.....

Good thinking.

dinos... ive gotten over a 8k jump in aq3 with some serious ram tweking....

 

seems aq3 likes ram freq better than tight timings...

 

also loves cpu freq... i ran it at at 5.3ghz... then at 5.5 ghz... and it was a pretty drastic jump

Well it depends on the GPU for AM3

if there is anything i'm a tragic at it's RAM tweaking hehehe

 

its not that

i think he is talking about an actual tweak

Hi Dino! Check it out:

Niko I've already thanked you in that particular xs thread for prioaff.exe, that's a hell of a program ! I've used it several times so far, and I gotta say it's great for one more time !

 

So far only for pifast though, not AM3 ... Gotta try it with that too

where do i download it from

 

btw

somekindofbench.exe

means the app you are trying to run yes?

thanks for this guys, will credit you in any submissions I upload with this

Thanks for sharing hipro

you know Google, right?

thanks man

 

thanks to Niko and George as well of course

 

i am going to start playing with E8600 again to revisit my 1M/pifast and some 3DMARK01/AM3 now that nvidia has a cool cat on the market

I was just about to link it to you AM3 is a real treat with high priority and with better core selected, you can gain up to 80-100MHz, at least i did. Besides, with high prio the final result in AM3 is much more consistent (doesn't fluctuate as much).

 

Happy benching fellas!

 

P.S.: Dino, try to avoid sharks, i read you Aussies are on the menu these days!

lol i live like 5 minutes drive from the beach but i hardly go

maybe a couple of times a year lol

very fine lil tool.., works just perfekt! appreciate sharing.., will mention ofcourse in subs! :-)
