Yes, it does work in dual Cores. My rig is:
Intel CoreDuo E6550 Conroe 2.33 GHz Motherboard Gigabyte P35-DS3L LGA775 4 GB RAM DDR2 1066 MHZ EVGA Nvidia GTX580 1.5 GB VRAM DDR5 Drivers 266.58, DirectX 11 Audigy 2 ZS Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits SP1 Monitor HP 2510i 25" Track IR 4 Joystick Saitek X52 Pedals CH Definitively this Sim at the moment relies more in graphic power than in pure CPU power. I have moved from an old Nvidia EN8600GT (game unplayable) to a GTX 580 and with the same CPU/MoBo/RAM/peripherals now I get in "Thr Black Death" Track 35/74/0 (Average/Max/Min, MIN happens while loading textures for 2" at the beginning of the track) with these settings in game: ![]() And here in Nvidia Control Panel: ![]() What I have done is to follow all kind of advices and optimization tutorials in this forum and now I can get a decent gameplay, even flying online, although is not totally optimized yet. Optimization process must start by the BIOS, and run along memory, OS, graphics settings and the game itself. I believe that, once in the future all the now blocked features of the Sim (real weather specially but and many other) have been released, CPU power will become more important, and the time to change MoBo/CPU/RAM will arrive. I post this in order to help other people to improve, like other posters have helped to me these last weeks. Last edited by FAE_Cazador; 04-30-2011 at 12:39 PM. |

I agree with your second point, but again it all depends how the program utilises the cores... |

All setting on High, nothing turned off.. smooth gameplay, good fps (30-70).. dual core never gets above 70% load.

Same here, very happy owner of a Min specs Duel Core E5400 - Win7/64 - 4Gb - GTS250 (512mb).
I have Grass On as the visuals are pretty bland set to 'Off' for Start missions and avg 42 fps with little or no impact on fps when I am in the air. 1280 x 768 60Hz Nvidia Pre render 0 frames AA X2 Vsync enabled SSAO Off Clouds Off Model Detail - High Buildings Detail - Med Land Detail - Med Forests - Off Visual Effects - High Texture Quality - Med Damage Decal - High Buildings Amount - Low Land Shading - Medium Grass - On Shadows - Off Roads - Off Will probably get a GTX560Ti as my first upgrade option for future proofing any hardware ug's. |

Why surprised? Well known by now it is not multicore and uses only single core.

It's not so much about 'suprise', I think this thread mayhelp those running min specs machines, having problems and simply being told that its all down to their aging/weak hardware. There may be issues but not necessarily that their machine is just not up to anything other than cranking all settings to low or off. There will come a time when we will probably have to upgrade for sure.

Same boat.
Core 2 DUO E7300@2,67GHZ 4 GB DDR-2 800MHZ Geforce 250 GT 1 GB Due old CRT monitor limited to 1024x768 - 85 HZ (or 1280x1012 60 HZ). ![]() SSAO Off Nvidia Pre render 0 frames AA X2 Vsync enabled Model Detail - High Buildings Detail - Med Land Detail - Low Forests - Very Low Visual Effects - High Texture Quality - High Damage Decal - Medium Buildings Amount - Low Land Shading - Low Grass - Off Shadows - Off Roads - On FPS Counter = OFF <<<<< ![]() Playable and enjoyable game. The only major problem (appart all know bugs) is when very next to enemy bombers my guns sometimes "freeze" or only fire in short burst. Sokol1 |

Hi guys, I want to pick up CoD when the price here in the US comes down a bit.
Can someone please tell me if I can run it OK at medium/low settings @ 1600-900 (my monitor's native res.) with the rig in my sig. Thanks! |
