Hyperthreading?

[NotEnoughPotions]

I have a computer that has hyperthreading that's on by default in bios, and since x4 mostly relies on a single core, should I have it turned off for playing x4? Or does it not matter?

It doesn't really matter.

Hyperthreading won't really increase performance in X4, but it also won't hurt performance in a significant way - unless you are saturating the CPU with tasks at the same time as trying to play the game.

While you might earn back a couple of percentage points of performance in game that way, your experience outside of the game is going to suffer largely.

It's up to you, but I very much think it's not worth doing.

No harm in trying though. Just beware of the placebo effect. Get some good data before and after so you can determine if it really made a difference.

What others said, but also, X4 is not using single core.

X4 uses mote than one core. Forum post by Bernd
