GTA4 recommended a Tri-Core or higher, so games are moving beyond what a dual core can offer


Admittedly GTA 4's port was almost as buggy as a bethesda game, and properly optimised could have ran on a dual core, but clearly Rockstar though that the audience it was aiming to would have the computer to run it. The fact that it sold so well seems to confirm this.


Also, what's to stop one of us buying a beastly GPU to remove bottlenecking XD
