LOL more flaw's in Helmut's claims, go easy on the young lad
.Agreed, with more stuff flying about that's when core's get utilized. I can only presume with a better GPU the CPU is going to get pushed a ton more
Was Crysis Overhype?

Aye the cores only seem to get used when there's physics going on, that's it really.
If there's nothing going on, you'll only get one core being used.

Bingo. I can't wait to see what happens when GPUs catch up to Crysis.
Exactly my point.
In real terms this game runs no faster with a quad than a dual core with the same GPU.
Hence my OP
Simply because the game is GPU limited as pointed out 3-4 times.
, You're going to have to wait for updated GPU's to see that Quad kick out some real power, it's all relative and all scales depdending on the GPU. I reckon the Crysis engine would scale all the way up to 100% on all four cores, had we the GPU's to take it there.More settings unlocked, more eye candy, more FPS, more drool to clean off my keyboard
Are you listening to what has already been said?
, I give up. I don't mind explaining it but when you simply don't listen 
...Simply because the game is GPU limited as pointed out 3-4 times.
Rubbish
I'm sorry but that is just BS.
Lower the res and take the strain of the GPU.
The game dont use quad core.
effectively
For kicks: 800x600, all settings low except physics on high. Crysis CPU benchmark.
As you can see Crysis is indeed GPU limited and it does use quad core effectively, but only for physics and possibly AI. There is no AI in the benchmark though, so a custom benchmark would be better.

, I'll let Ulf deal with this (If he's still up), I'm going to bed Gnite all.
EDIT : Blimey that was fast, cheers Ulf, unlucky Easy

In game piccy please,
Show all 4 cores working IN GAME.
Thanks
Easy
That was in-game, I was running the Crysis CPU benchmark and I had task manager minimised in the background.
Obviously you're going to see a lot less CPU activity if you're not blowing things up, since it's mostly the physics that's offloaded to the various cores so that the CPU can keep up.
LOL, the proof is in the pudding..
You've been proved wrong.
"The rider win's again!"
Unless you have been playing a different crysis to me.
The game don't use Quad core effectively.
As you admit no gain comes from having a quad core over a dual core in Crysis.
Unless you go back and edit your post's.
So which is it?
Decide now or I will quote you on it lol
So am I right in saying that if you were playing in game at 800x600 on Low just as you did, with even more physics than the benchmark, we could expect to totally utilize the whole quad?
Poor Easy.
Basically yeah, or if we had GPUs that could keep up with Crysis in 1600x1200 the way mine does in 800x600.So am I right in saying that if you were playing in game at 800x600 on Low just as you did, with even more physics than the benchmark, we could expect to totally utilize the whole quad?
Poor Easy.
That's not because the code isn't there though, it's because the CPU is waiting on the GPU.
Clearly your out of your depth (noob tbh
). The game uses dual core 100% on both mainly. once GPU's catch up so will the quad at the higher resolutions. What aren't you understanding here. 
Yep and for some reason Easy doesn't seem to get this. It's not the game at fault it's the simple way GPU and CPU depend on each other not the code
EDIT : You beat me
