Interesting article with ATI and NVIDIA cards benched against each other to see how many CPU cores you need to run games efficiently.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2010/07/05/how-many-cpu-cores-do-games-need/1
Four CPU cores appears to be plenty, and it's upgrade and multi-task proof. If you do leave your torrent client MSN on or music playing in the background, for example, then the game will still have enough spare resources not to chug.

One important conclusion to take away though is that you don't need a 6-core CPU. They do nothing for your games, so unless you already find a quad-core slow in other applications or your day-to-day PC use, don't upgrade for this reason.

The article is about GFX card performance with CPU cores in games which is all relevant to the GFX card forum..:rolleyes: now if you have nothing constructive to say about the article, please don't spam the thread.

The article is about - How many CPU cores do games need? Which it quiet clearly states in the title and is why there is already a 2 page thread in the cpu section. :rolleyes:

As for this thread its pointless as its in the wrong section and there is already an established thread on the very same subject.
 
Please stop the spam, games are relevant to GFX cards are they not, stating the obvious but you need a GFX card to play PC games so I think this article is very relevant to people who browse this forum section regularly and do not go in to the CPU section much.

You need allot of hardware besides a gpu to play games (mobo, memory, psu, hdd). Should this thread be posted in all of those sections as well?

The article talks about cpu cores and is relevant in the section the it is already posted in ie the cpu section. Just because you dont look in any other section apart from this one doesn't mean everyone else is the same. If a thread is double posted across the forum it normally gets shut down. Seeing as you are posting about the same article I see no reason why your thread is special.

Any normal person would have said they didn't realise that there was another thread and to close this one but not you. You some how think you are very important in the graphics card section of ocuk and therefore your thread should stay open even though there is an established two page thread already running in the correct section. :rolleyes:
 
Right I'm on the verge of RTM, all you have done is Spam this thread, it's not harming anyone and it's in a totally different sub-section to the the other thread and it IS relevant to GFX card owners and that's why it is posted here, for those that visit this board not the CPU section.

RTM'd either the thread will be deleted or cleaned up, so let it be.
