There's alot of odd things here and there that don't work on my systems, past and present.
Cpu load, all sorts of perf counters and so on.
Anyways I'm gonna try this bcdedit mod to see if I can force avx to enable or whatever.

Anyways I'm off to play with bcdedit.
Though I doubt aida64 will beable to tell if it's working either way.


Update:
Ok well, forcing avx to enable doesn't work.
Avx is just isn't working on my setup lol, got the os, cpu and etc.
I apparently gutted avx along with float-16 and so on without realizing it, I wouldn't of known with my older amd cpu at the time.
I didn't think there was another say 80% perf boost just waiting for me lol.
I got a fresh os to the side I haven't finished setting up, no tweaks.
I planned on getting around to fixing up my tweaks for x64 win7 but just haven't gotten around to it other then installing windows and calling it quits for the time being, until now anyways.
Sigh I don't even wanna use windows lol, but I don't have the free space right now for linux...

I should try re-stressing my cpu with avx enabled a little later on, I thought I was using it but apparently not...
Linx went from 90 gflops to 160 gflops so apparently not lol.
I've updated the program to detect if the OS has AVX enabled. And if it isn't, it will spit out a warning and fall back to SSE3 or SSE4.1.
I haven't been able to test it since all my OS's are fully upgraded and I don't want to mess with bcdedit nor install another OS. But it *should* work fine.

This will go out in the next version (v0.6.5). But that might take a while.
