Ahhh well I tried it on TF2 very briefly to see if it did increase my FPS which it did.
On DOD:S its been working like clockwork.

Enable multithreading in TF2 and DOD:S

Only problem is that with TF2 it makes the game very unreliable. Crashing out, freezing, etc.
There's a thread on it in the Steam Forums - http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=694944

I found that que mode 2 crashed tf 2 within no time, however if i used all the commands as listed on the fps banana link i got even more fps and zero crashes.

I also noticed with que mode set to 2 my cpu usage would hover at around 80 ish % and give me a nice fps untill it crashed. With all the commands it sits at 100% fully stable.

nope.
The '2' doesn't mean '2 cores', it's boolean (if that's the right term).
0 = no threading
1 = queued threading
2 = multi core

Yeah and -1 is default (which is what mine was before) not exactly sure what that means. default what? 0, 1 or 2?

i dont think there is a problem as such. more of an issue. for me, i can run it all day long with my rig, but my friends better core2 and new gtx cant. i think it helps lower end processers keep up as long as you have a half decent graphics card. nice boost as otherwise tf2 can be unplayable at times.
funny thing is with the same rig but with a 7800gt it used to crash so ... guess it needs some major tweaking, which they are probably doing right now.

I've just played TF2 for about a hour, no crashes, and my sniper scope works fine.
Admittedly the fps boost wasn't as great as in DOD, but was still pretty hefty (from about 70 to 100).
I guess at the moment its hit'n'miss, but I presume its hard for Valve to re-engineer the engine to support multithreading, rather than games that were built from scratch to support it.
No it doesn't until they update it to the later source engine.

Good man. This works, no more 3 second crashes. Quite happy about that.
Glad it helped, was finding that my core 2 duo clocked at 3.44 dropped to 40-50 fps on a large server which lead to me looking into why the game only used one core. Ended up finding the que mode and causing crashes but thought I may aswel try the other which worked.
