RadeonPro: disabling CPU cores for Dirt 3?

[metalmackey]

Hi guys,

I've just discovered RadeonPro and it has fixed issues I had in some games Dirt 3 crashes and I think its sommit to do with I7CPU's. I tried creating a profile for the game in RP and disabled all cores after 3 but the game still detects 12, any ideas?

I have tried radeon pro with a few games.
Whilst being a great program i think a few things are still not working correctly and with some things forced some games dont seem to like certain things.
I had problems with saints row 3 and ssf4:ae crashing.

Sorry i cannot help you with dirt 3 though.

I would speculate that your crashing issues were caused by the RadeonPro overlay. Try to disable it and or any other overlays such as afterburner, fraps, teamspeak etc before you start the game.

It didn't crash on my I7 920 with 6990 but does on sig rig.

Never had a problem with Dirt 3 on my I7 2600k or 3770k with Xfire 7950 and Eyefinity.

Did it detect hyper threading? On current rig it detects the CPU as 12 cores and no HT.

so its in a window, but why RP? did you make a profile or just running RP 'coz you like it

Yeah I made a profile, recently returned to the game, and with most games I tinker with RP to see what it can offer.

Ah right. I tried RP to try and make Saints Row 3 better, got it to load quicker but that's about it LOL May I ask what you tweaked for Dirt 3?

 

[~>Dg<~]

you go in cfg and change cpu setting somewhere cant remember but its same in dirt 1 if you have i7.

I mainly muck around with refresh rates as my dell u2312hm in custom settings has trouble with some games, the monitor has a game mode but sitting 3-4ft away from the screen the brightness can melt your pupils.

LtMatt has written a guide im sure with hints and tips with the RP, if not a youtube search is how I first came across it, trying to solve a mates Farcry 3 problem.

With RadeonPro make sure you not using Msi afterburner Overlay. In all the games I have used RP has worked great no issues at all. In fact its the first thing I do for new game is setup a RP profile.

I'll look for the guide and have a play about I did try the experimental AO but Skyrim didn't boot and Streetfighter 4 crashed so I gave up on AO LOL.
