This mod fixes CPU Priority: High right out of the box.
CPU Affinity requires manual configuration.
To find the amount of cores in your CPU, go to Task Manager -> Advanced View -> Performance -> CPU
Here is my example Cores: 4 Logical processors: 8 Using the affinity calculator mentioned in the PriorityMod.toml file, you can work out your affinity hex code.
Activate (check) cores 0-7 (that's 8 cores, or logical processors)
Physical: 0, 2, 4, 6 Logical: 1, 3, 5, 7
Disable (uncheck) the first and second logical cores (1 and 3)
This outputs CPU Affinity Bitmask (hex): 0x00000000000000F5
but due to how HEX numbers work, all you really need in this case is 0xF5
Result in PriorityMod.toml # To set the value. You need CPU Affinity Mask Calculator # https://bitsum.com/tools/cpu-affinity-calculator/ affinity = 0xF5
I verified this by going to Task Manager -> Advanced View -> Details -> right click SkyrimSE.exe and saw that the Priority was High and the Affinity code had properly disabled cores 1 and 3.
TLDR: it will optimize the first two and most relevant game threads in the way that they can work separated from each other and all other threads and do not have to share the first physical core automatically due to smt. this will result in lesser stutter and a more smooth gaming experience. it may give you maximum of one or two fps more but nothing worth to mention. the focus is just on the smoother gaming experience.?
Very dumb monke here. If i have 4 cores and 4 logical processors what should i do? I understand that i have to check cores 0-3, but how do i know which ones should be disabled?
probably not unless you have like a lot of smp physics in one place at once or have mods which add alot of physics. i would still get it just for some extra frames but you probably wont see much of a difference
Hi, I can’t work out what to set the cpu affinity code to with my MSI claw 8 handheld. It’s got 8 cores saying 4p and 4e cores. When I go in task manager it says 8 cores and 8 threads so I’m a bit confused.
Your man has posted a video tutorial: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50129?tab=videos#lg=2&slide=0 Nevermind, didn't see you're on handheld.
But the main download file says it works upto game version 1.6.1170 which is a previous version to the current GOG .. If it works on 1.6.1179 as well, then you should edit that writing so people don't get confused if it works on latest GOG or not

Talos be praised.
xrayys optimized skyrim cpu balance explains why disabling thread 1 and 3 leads to an improvement.

The description on the file page says it should work with my version, and I've got everything up to date.
Any ideas where I might be going wrong here?
Thanks.
Thanks :)
