Six core CPU's an advantage for CoD?

..in this single test, yes.

The real life advantage is remarkably smaller, it also varies from game to game.

The thread was not referencing 'game to game', it was referencing one game specifically. CLIFFS OF DOVER.

Of course older games are going to be more dependent on raw speed, rather than multiple cores. CoD is clearly optimized for use with multiple core processors, the question is, how much use can the program make of CPU's with six cores?

Perhaps it is too much to ask of people on this board. Hopefully we might see a reply from Luthier or Oleg.

Very true. I now have an i7 2600 rig and interestingly it plays ROF with all sliders to the max perfectly - very fluid frame rates. However, with FSX (which is much older than ROF) it still refuses to have silky frame rates when many of the sliders are set above medium/high - most frustrating. We'll just have to see how the i7 2600 handles CoD.

Same here: Phenom 1090T (6cores 3.2GHz) + 8 GB RAM + nVidia GTS 250 (1GB) and it plays ROF with all sliders to the max perfectly and in FSX with most sliders set to High and a fiew to medium I get 20FPS on average ...
