HOME Are there any first impressions/data on how effectively dual/quad CPU's run the game? Is anything beyond 2 cores used?
Are there any first impressions/data on how effectively dual/quad CPU's run the game? Is anything beyond 2 cores used?
I'm using a quad core, and after playing (or trying to play) the campaign, I would have to say not very effective at all. I have a pretty good video card, but performance in the missions is very sluggish.
Specs please :-)
I believe that having a 2.33GHz quad is weaker than 3.5GHz Dual Core, but wonder how it behaves over others. IE. Is 3GHz Q slower or faster than 3.5GHz DC.
Sarge: Get over here! Give me a boost!
Caboose: Ok.
Caboose runs up
Caboose:You are a good person -- and people say nice things about you.
Sarge: Not a morale boost, moron, a physical one. I need to see what's in that window.
Caboose: That window is very high. I don't think you are tall enough.
Sarge: I know. I need you to help me look through it.
Caboose: I don't think I am tall enough either. Also, my head is round. That window is square.
Could anyone with a quad core test to what extent is the 4th core used? Just want to know whether three cores would be enough... Thanks in advance.
Well I have an i7 920 running at 3.2 GHz. If Arma 2 doesn't run well on it, it probably doesn't run well on anything.Originally Posted by sidhellfire
q6600 (oc 4x 3.2ghz)
gigabyte p35-ds3p
8800GT (1024mb)
4 GB ram (3.7)
win xp32
..it runs smooth as long as i stay under 100% (fillrate thing)
would look better with AA
I will be able to compare this directly when I get the EU version.
Luckily for me I can unlock the 4th core on my AMD X3 720, so I can do a direct comparison between 3 and 4 cores, everything else equal
That's great to hear cm, hope to read your conclusions soon! (the 720 is the processor I thinking of getting).
Remember if your thinking of unlocking the 4th core like CM don't expect it to work, sometimes it will work with others it won't, you need to make sure its stable
This is on a Xeon 3.0 Quad Core server:
Just a couple of players online, playing "Kampf auf engem". At least near 50% usage seen, that's a great start.
Can't wait to do more thorough tests with more AI, more players, and more complex missions and scripts, and who knows what improves in future versions.
