Title: Set Affinity
Post by: dhavalmistry on January 04, 2008, 08:54:41 AM
I just found out about this couple of days ago but I didnt post it here because of the BETA release....and now since its been delayed...I thought I would inform you guys about this....this is for people using multi-core systems and Vista

I dont know about XP but in Vista if you go into task manager and right click on TG2 process or any other process......you get an option called "Set Affinity". This feature allows you choose, on which core that particular process should handled. So if you have quad core machine and you are doing 4 crop renders....you can associate each crop render to each core instead of all 4 cores rendering all crop renders....

I think this way its more efficient and probably will save you some render time.

Yeah, I knew about this....

It dosent make any use to me, cause I do not understand cropping properly, and therefore never use it

Yes, you can do it in XP, though I only have two and haven't tried it.
