This cvar determines which cores of your processor wow will load & run on.

The default for a single core processor is "1", while all multi-core processors (dual-core, tri-core, quad-core & i7s) default to "3".

Changing this setting requires a restart of wow.

To make this change, you need to open your Config.wtf file, and then make the changes.


Customizing your settings for multi-core processors:

To customize which cores Wow uses, see this table [1].

Choose which cores you wish wow to run on, and then add the numbers together. That is then the setting you use in the Config.wtf file:

SET processAffinityMask "x"

where x is the number you got from adding above.


Setting Wow to run on all cores:

Dual-cores:

SET processAffinityMask "3"

Tri-cores:

SET processAffinityMask "7"

Quad-cores:

SET processAffinityMask "15"

I7s:

SET processAffinityMask "255"
