Hyperthreading - Finally an answer
 

Holy moly, I don't know how many people asked on the forums and how often I tried it at Youtube, but I finally got an answer.


@OlegMaddox:
"Could you please answer whether this game takes advantage by a hyperthreading CPU? This can save us about 100 buccs."


"Yes, but not so much." (Quote Youtube)

"Yes, but not so much."

Meh, still pretty vague of an answer. But better then nothing, I appreciate it :)

I'd be rather interested if it benefits from multithreading.

I don't know any game that would profit from Hyperthreading. AFAIK only professional software does.


But lately Oleg posted that only part of the sound-engine is multithreaded. So we will have to see how well it performs with DX10s use of multiple cores.

Can you even buy a single core these days?

Perhaps, but what does that have to do with this topic? :confused:

I wondered about the same thing ;)

He is probably saying that it should be Multithreading enabled as you can no longer buy single core cpus.

You mean hyperthreading enabled. :D

We can't enable multithreading. Unless you already hacked the code, that is.

On Topic....

The question is if hyperthreading's "yes but not so much" worth $100?
I'm guessing that your looking between the 2500k and the 2600k right?

I'll tell you in 10 days.

Doesn't make any sense to buy a new machine before the first tests.
