Programe that separates the cores on a 8 core cpu.

Hi there, Im not great with programming at all infact if you asked me any thing about it i would say WHHHHHAATTT but one thing i would like to know is there or can any one make a program that separates the cores on an AMD fx8320. So that cpu 0-3 will run windows and all the other apps you use on a daily basis so that cpu 4-7 wil run 3d applications such as games or video players?
If it is not possible sorry i wasted your time.
Thanks
P.S. if some one made this it probably would be one of the best things for amd users. that have over 4 cores.
Answer #1
There was an option in win7 task manager where you can set Affinity to a process. i.e you can tell a specific process to use a certain core. Though I couldn’t find it in win8.1
Answer #2
I have tried this but it resets and doesn’t really work that well.
Answer #3
1 – there is a cmd line program that can set affinities during the start up of a program. i can’t reall the name becasue I gtried it and discovers #2 below.
2 – it’s counter productive – windows manages the distribution very well anyway. any available core is ready to be used by a program. Restricting windows like this and manually choseing cores yourself is not a good way to manage thngs.
Answer #4
Here’s an App that may help..

If you still want to play around with it..
Or just Google “Auto set CPU affinity”

But would i really be better then 4 core only dedicated to a game ?
Answer #6
You can try Prio. It basicly works the same as the task manager (it replaces/extends the task manager). You can change the affinity, just like on the regular task manager, but the settings get saved, so you’ll only need to set the affinity once.

Answer #7
Messing with core affinity is a terrible idea, Let the program or os dictate this!
You should only use this for testing programs just like limiting the amount of processors in msconfig!
Answer #8
allright ill check my fps and test it myself but thanks
Answer #9
you’ll make the game runs even slower by crippling your scheduler.
Just check the task manager, while idleing the cpu usage is 1% , and now you want to reserver what, 50% for that?
Just make sure you have enough RAM (12GB- yeah that much, go check out tom’s hardware why) and all will be fine
Answer #10
Kind of pointless, in every aspect. Messing with core affinity is only viable if a Steam game requires it. Anyway the Piledriver uses modules not cores.
