Games that use all 12 threads on a Intel Hexcore?

OCPete · 28 Apr 2014 at 12:37

Anyone found any games that use all the physical and virtual (HT) threads on an intel hexcore? I have no regrests about my CPU due to Folding and other uses, i'm just wondering.

I haven't as yet. Even BF4 seems to use 6-8. It is buttery smooth tho, and seemingly more so than my old i7 quad core (with HT on). :cool:

Cheers

Arma 3 is the opposite unfortunately.

The Arma community wish it was correctly multi threaded, as it stands, fastest single core is king.

that's crazy, especially for a very well known cpu intensive game. Aint this a 2013 game aswell, no excuse really.

*Old build but sentiment holds true.

Arma 3 loves to munch on clock.

Faster clock over a slower clock over more cores/threads.

Arma 3 is an anomaly in the gaming world in that faster ram frequencies help performance with notable improvements.

The server code is what bites most server admins.

A correctly multi threaded server would ease the load on servers and allow greater player count times infirnity

I am not a coder and we have nothing as "complex" as Arma 3 to compare it to but I would think supporting multiple threads on something like Arma 3 would be a headache? Not saying it is right or wrong that it does not, but I can imagine it not being easy.

Unfortunately it's true
