Alot of great games just play straight up poorly on multicore computers :(  Infact, Battlefield 2, the game i put in 1000+hours online significantly played worse and worse the faster my computer got :(  Going from a Pentium 4 to AMD X2 to CoreDuo to Core2Duo...each time the game introduce more lag, more loading time, less fps during high action times :(  Each new cpu also got the latest in video cards...which helped less as well :(

Now I say Playstation 3 for m3  :)  (or the wii with the wife :P )

It's still illogical, because even if the game is only using 1 core, the processing power of that single core should still be rising (eg. each core of your core2 is more powerful than a core of your old AthlonX2).


I've always been GPU limited, all the way from the start of time to now.

Well, Pentium 4 had a 3.06GHz HT single core.. average Core Duos were lower single core clocks.

I know clocks may not make a difference but its a reasonable assumption I think xP
