No multicore support?

Doesn't seem like the game's using my multicore processor...

getting that quadcore was a waste of money, there's barely anything that supports 4 cores..

Although I guess when they phase in support it'll be like a whole new lease of life on the same cpu.

but still the game would use a core completly, i mean like windows or other programmes running won't slow down the game.

I ran it on a dual core 6750, on max, and forgot to check if it actually used both cores.

No performance issues though.

There are some settings to enable in console. They are not enabled by default yet.
Read some of that thread.
Graph would look more like this then. Which means it can use more than just dual core can provide. Benefits? idk I have not seen a performance review mention those settings yet nor benchmark them.

Thanks for your opinion, but I strongly disagree.

All Unreal 3 engine games (Bioshock, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament III, etc.) support multiple cores. Crysis supports multiple cores. I believe id have stated Rage and its engine will support multiple cores. Valve said they're supporting multiple cores in the future, but I don't know if this currently does or not. Alan Wake will support multiple cores.

As jerkasaur said, the game will be able to completely utilize a single core, and background processes won't hinder your playing if it's only a single core supported game.

So, no, I don't think it was a waste of money. Furthermore, the entire computer cost less than $900, and that came with 3 gigs of RAM, the quad core, and 500GB on the HD; I got my 8800 for less than $200 more. I think it was a fairly good deal. I believe you're uninformed in the matter.

Cheomesh: My PC runs it fine too, I just want my laptop to run it better, as it's dual core. It gets a decent 35FPS, though, just want a little more.

Asus: Thanks

what are you talking about not using all 4 cores????

the other graphs are still spiking so obviously they are being used.

But if you add up the usage on the other 3 cores from the first graph it could easily fit within 2 cores. Except for the spike in the middle. Could be game related or just from alt-tabbing (notice the main core usage drops at that time). Being able to spread the same load is one thing. Creating additional load is another.
