Hello all,
I am awaiting the last piece I need to get my Threadripper machine up and running. Should be here tomorrow
I run a small project studio where I do video editing/rendering with Vegas Pro, Audio Production with Reaper, and I do some gaming on the side as well. Here is my current setup, just replace the motherboard, cpu, and I will be adding the NZXT Kraken x62 inseatd of the Corsair (long sotry on that switch up).
I have been doing a ton of reading/research the past 2 weeks about Threadripper. I will admit, I am learning a ton as I go, as I was always one of the people who simply thought more cores meant everything was faster, but I am now reading more and more about scaling across threads and cores and how in gaming, less cores = better performance.
I am a pretty heavy mutli tasker, and with Threadripper I would like to be able to rendering video and play a game at the same time, or maybe stream a game session using a lot of the CPU just to test out some configurations. I like tinkering a lot, so I want to learn the pros and cons to everything I can.
I started reading up on assigning certain cores to certain programs so you can split your workload and multi task, and I am curious about it. So far, I have only seen one method for doing this, and that is to launch task manager, right click a program, goto details, then 'set affinity'.
Is this the best/only way to do this? Or are there applications that have better results? And how do you know what cores to assign to what? I really don't know much about how a CPU processes things as far as the science and math behind it go, and I am interested in finding out as much as I can about it.
Thanks in advanced for any replies!
