Hi,
Can anyone think of any current games that can utilise quad core? i'm trying to decide which CPU to buy and seriously thinking about the Q6600 cCore2Quad.
all i know are:
Supreme commander
Lost planet: colonies
Crysis?

anyone think of any others? i know future games will start using quad core but not sure when/

Far Cry 2 apparently

Flight Sim X?

i've not played/seen much of farcry but have a copy of FSX so hopefully it does, then it's worth buying the quad.

Can I just ask, as I don't know, are the games you have listed confirmed as using all 4 cores? I was aware of games that could use 2, but not actually use more than that.

lost planet can when you change one of the option from 2 to 4
i'm sure supreme commander does, but not confirmed and i assumes crysis should

Far Cry 2 probably gets a big gain from it, quite often I see my C2D running at 85%+ so there's some headroom for a quad to stretch it's legs.

I'm guessing the newer games are going to start utilizing it more then.

games from the list posted that i currently own are;

Call Of Duty 4 - Ground up quad core support.
Company of Heroes - Ground up quad core support
Crysis - MP Beta Dual Core support, full game ground up Quad Core support.
Flight Simulator X - Quad core support with patch.
Lost Planet - Ground up quad core support. (octa core support as well).
Supreme Commander - Ground up quad core support.

So most of them actually would probably benifit from me owning the Quad core over owner a Dual core
