I am running a PC-DL and want to stress test oc. I installed prime and created 4 folders to run 4 instances. I set affinity to 0-1-2-3 and started 1st which goes to 100% on cpu-0 in mbm. I start number 2 it just sits there as do the rest. Need some help getting all 4 instances to run. Thanks.

@Hardass,

Select "Custom" instead of "Blend"....you need to divide your total ram by 4. By default each instance will try to take all available ram (for instance about 9xx MB of 1024 if you have 1GB...so 9xx X 4 instances = waaay to dang much) so the other instances stall out and a lot of paging goes on until windows gets all settled and sorted out (which may never happen with 4 instances)

If you have 1GB of ram...I would set 220MB (450-460 for 2GB) for each instance, but remember to leave the "in place" box NOT checked and make sure you specify 8K to 4096K for the FFT size...that will be the equivalent of the "Blend" torture test...but with a custom amount of ram.
