Hello there, ive already decided im buying a quad core for my total upgrade in September due to the fact that i wont be able to upgrade again for some time, most likely years and therefore want to have a quad core ready. But im curious as to how many games you know which are going to be quadcore enabled.

Is it known yet if Crysis will be quad core enabled and do you think it will be very well scripted for the use of quad cores? Supreme comander uses them but i dont think very well. Crysis is one of the main games im hoping quad core will work on and be well optimized for it.

Do you recon all dx10 games in the future will be quad core? Or do you think they wont be really using it for a year or so?

Im hoping world of wars will also be quad core enabled.


So guys and girls i think ive babbled about enough. How many games do you know which enable quad core?

we had to wait for ~2 years before dual core was correctly used, i reckon it will be a similar timeframe before quad core will be utilized.


Perhaps 2 years for it to be fully optimized. But technology has improved a lot. new knowlage from duel cores etc. I think they will pick it up a lot faster.

I think by a year there will be some solid games using it well. But maybe not to its potential.
 
well it was good at first till i realized its all the same. And i hate driving missions on most games because they never seem to manage to make them intresting or feel right. I like realistic driving and i play a lot of driving games and spent 80 quid on a wheel. The james bond games are the worst. Yet i like flying on BF2 :) ... thats probly because if you can fly it equals a lot of kills lol. The J10 is rediculas and ive proved before that you can infact fire missiles backwards at helicopters.
 
I could edit the first post and add in every game listed here so its more like an actual offical list.

Could help people deside which CPU to get achuly if we had a list for Duel and quad. But i gues most games are duel now.
 
That does sound rather like its gona be a hell lot more optimized for duel then quad. But to be fair in a way that is best for the majority of people. But it is limiting its optimization for the smoothest gameplay and most people who have rigs good enough to run this game are probly going to go quad core soon anyway as they always want to have the best, just like me :D
 
If you play a duel core game then will it automaticaly switch two cores to the game and the other two to windows etc.

Or will it spread windows over all four cores so two of the cores end up with half of the back ground apps and the game?
