ir_cow Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 its' funny say quads are useless in gaming but in fact most games of 2008/9 use more than 2 threads. i saw a good gain going from 3.8ghz duo to 2.4ghz quad in crysis and same goes for alot of other games.

B.C. Xtreme Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 its' funny say quads are useless in gaming but in fact most games of 2008/9 use more than 2 threads. i saw a good gain going from 3.8ghz duo to 2.4ghz quad in crysis and same goes for alot of other games. Even for games that use only two threads, quad-core can still be an improvement. If you have a dual-core, and the game maxes out both cores, the entire system will slow down, and the frame rate will drop and sound will skip and et cetera. But if you have a quad-core, even if the game maxes out 2 of the cores, you've still got another whole two cores to manage the rest of the computer's operations. No slow downs!
