Hey guys, I have seen Dual core optimizer hotfix's but nothing that supports 64x, does anyone know of any or if they are even worth installing?
 
i installed the optimizer on my pc (fx-60), and i've seen no improvement. i'm not running 64 though.
 
how about management applications, instead of selecting programs for certain core processing perhaps one that will choose for you for best performance and such?
 
On the AMD site:

"The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized."

It's effectively software to help keep both cores synchronized.
 
well, i installed it only a week ago. seems like it's the same as before i installed it. maybe someone can benchmark before and after. i wouldn't know which bm's to use though. (he, he, i said bm's)
