i'm quite happy it runs that well.

I don't consider 26fps playable to be honest. It's really... shocking to see PhysX support and SLI support but not multi-cores CPU utilization.

@thales100: Actually a patch can save the day. Quake4 took advantage of multicores with a patch after all

What are you talking about, I have a Q6600 and the game uses all 4 cores:

Granted, it's not the best multicore optimization I've seen (Unreal Tournament 3, Burnout Paradise, etc) but it DOES uses all 4 cores

You're using the DX10 Benchmark tool. Instead of that, run the actual game (both Russian and European versions) to see what we're talking about

lol, I don't even have Vista, how could I use the DX10 benchmark tool? Those results are from running the game (European version)

Really ? Well lets give hope a chance.

ZIGS c é brasileiro ? I use my G15 + Everest Ultimate to check the CPU usage of my quad, only one core working during gameplay of russian version ( 0 - 1% for 3 cores, 98 - 100% one core) - pretty exactly the same i check when i play STALKER Clear Sky.
GTA 4, on the other hand, has a great multi core optimization.

This is ridiculous. The framerate is lower than Crysis at max settings, and it barely has to render a tenth of the content. The performance really has to be optimized, this is absolutely unacceptable.

thales100, sou Português

when I played the russian version, I'm pretty sure it only used one core too, so the EU version at least has that improvement (though I didn't notice any performance increase in the game itself... go figure).

Here are my results with Cryostasis. It seems that by showing one graph for the CPUs usage in Task Manager mislead me. HOWEVER both cores are running at BELOW 50% (in fact, a lot of times you can see that the game is using only the 30-35% of them). It is a seriously bugged CPU utilization after all

your eyes and your brain work with 24 fps. u can't see more than 24 fps.
so it doesnt matter if u got 24 fps or 500. it will look the same for every human in the world.
so why it is not playable with 26 fps for u?
