For Information on AVX2

[thirdkeeper]

Posting this in the hopes it will aid others with the same issue -

I have a hi-end system but the game crashes on launch.
One of the Devs suggested that I confirm my proc supports AVX2, which led
me to a bit of research:

What Is AVX2 ?

Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), also known as Haswell New Instructions, is
an expansion of the AVX instruction set introduced in Intel's Haswell microarchitecture.
AVX2 is an expansion of the Intel instruction set that adds new instructions for integer
and floating-point operations:

- 256-bit integer instructions: Benefit software for math, digital signal processing,
images, and codecs

- Floating-point fused multiply-add (FMA) instructions: Improve performance for
high-performance computing, professional imaging, and face detection

- Gather operations: Increase vectorization opportunities for many applications

- Bit manipulation instructions: Useful for encryption, compression, and general
purpose software

AVX instructions allow compatible processors to perform more demanding functions
when used with compatible software. Effective use of these extensions can
significantly increase program performance.

How To Verify Your Proc Supports AVX2

https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v8.9/reference/configuration-reference/cluster-configuration/avx-2-instruction-set-verification/

Enable AVX

You can enable AVX in the BIOS:

Enter the BIOS by pressing "F2" during boot.
Navigate to "Ai Tweaker -> AVX Related Controls"
Enable "AVX", "AVX512" as needed.

For light workloads, you will be able to leave the
"Ratio Offset to per-core Ratio Limit" on "auto"

For heavier workloads you may need to specify an offset.

I'm unsure of values and meanings:
"AVX512 as needed" and "Ratio Offset to per-core Ratio limit"
