B.Ob. Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 PurSuiT gets credit for this one.... AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Utilities & Updates "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."

PurSuiT Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Came across that when I installed "Company of Hero's" Demo. The games told me to chk AMD's website for updated x2 CPU drivers.

I have had mine now for over a year and had big issues last August when I first got it. had to set Affinity in almost every game. They are getting alot better now with it. Windows update and chipset manufactures have packaged the fixes into their updates now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
