Montol Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Well, it seems that when I have the -advmethods tag going, I get the 3DNow boost, when I take it off, I get SSE(or whatever). I know my comp goes a lot faster with SSE, should I just take the -advmethods thing off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 yeah - the whole point is to get it to run as fast as possible - so yes take it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeter_acres Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 (edited) Hmmmmm -advmethods Request to be assigned any new Cores or work units. do you mean the "-forceasm" flag instead -forceasm Instruct the core to use SSE/3DNow assembly instructions if possible, even if it has previously made the determination that the machine may not be handling this well. OK... i just checked.. with my XP2400 running at 2239mhz.... I am working on p639....and my system runs 5 seconds per fram FASTER WITH the -forceasm flag.. while that doesn't sound like much... it adds up to over 33 minutes of processor time... OK.. so it isn't that much, but it is something Edited August 9, 2003 by exeter_acres Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montol Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I just find that with the -advmethods -forceasm flags on I always get the 3DNow boost, which is slower (a lot) on my comp. However, taking off the -advmethods flag, I still get the same work units, but it goes faster cause I get the SSE boost Weird.

Propane Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 well - every computer is going to be different so just make sure that your running SSE instead of 3DNow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
