Crysis optimized for quad core and core 2 extreme

mAJORgAMER · 07-06-2007, 05:59 PM

According to this video http://www.gametrailers.com/player/20027.html the game will be optimized using those cpu's. For crysis i think i would buy a quad core QX6600 but i dont know about older game. I heard some game are having problem whit the quad core, like Call of duty 2.

I dont know what to buy between a QX6600 or a core duo 6800 Extreme.

What do you think?

What they mean with the word 'optimised' is that the game has been coded to use 4 cores. This doesn't mean you get a 400% performance increase over a single core, as most of the game code will be single threaded ie NOT able to be spread over multiple cores.
