Title: Dual Core Game Performance (Some Sobering Results) Post by: Phoenix on 2005-12-26, 02:51 For those of you who might be wondering "Why should I care about dual-core CPU's?", you might want to check out this article (http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/quake_4_dual-core_performance/). I know Quake 4 hasn't been the most impressive game for a lot of people, but if this is any indication of a trend, dual core > single core for the games of the future. Might want to consider that if you're considering blowing any Christmas cash on a new mainboard/CPU combo. I know I'd take that extra framerate without question!
