Looks like QuadCore will benefit gamers sooner.

lets hope so.

You posted before i had time to add alittle info & the 8800 is kicking Ass

EDIT: they are useing 2 FX74`s so it should get better with real Quad cpu.

Look how much the dual core score changed by between the tests. They must have used radically different graphics settings or a different demo between the two tests. If we just use the first test as a base point, I'd say the quad core framerate would be about 55fps, so a 20fps increase. Not too shabby, but nothing like the 35-->90fps increase.

Still, it's a damn good step in the right direction.

They are using different gfx cards

And yet which website does this benchmark? Is it another marketing crap to promote something to the general public on a piece of hardware that is hardly needed for gaming now and for months to come.

What are you on about! the facts speak for them selfs.

read up on the FX74`s youl find although not true quad core, it has some advantages over its rival.

This thread is about quad for gaming not who has the better
