Superman? Did anybody say superman?

Oleg saying that current hardware isn't good enough || Oleg not knowing if the engine can handle the hardware efficiently.


I find it paradox, but that's just me.

All of you wondering about HT and more than 4 cores should wait for late June - when Bulldozers with 6 and 8 physical cores are out. Spending extra cash on 2600k (for CoD) is money wasted IMO.

On the face of it that's good advice - except that someone in my position with a below recommended-spec dual core setup that I know won't run the game that well - is faced with spending the 3 most exciting months in the life of this new series being frustrated and annoyed at either bad fps OR low quality screens while everyone else raves about how amazing the game is.

You only get to experience the newness once - why have it messed up when you can do something about it?

Also - I'm taking an educated guess (bet!) that Bulldozer won't actually threaten the SB position as top dog - floating point implementation and no or little benefit from the extra cores for gaming

And yes - patience probably isn't my strong point.

S!

Some preliminary tests have shown an engineering example of BD beating a SB hands down

[kendo65]

Tests run by whom though? AMD?

Oh no - I'm turning into a Fanboy!

actually, isn't this just the latest instance of the old computing conundrum? - there is ALWAYS something better and faster just around the corner

Please link your source, otherwise I call BULLSHIT. Why? Because I am tired of people claiming anything they want on this forum and not backing it up.

Look at it this way, you won't have to deal with release bugs. There will be a patch or two out by that time.

Assumption is a mother of all f***.

I have read numerous rumors as well - I don't believe it until I see it. Even if it beats SB it will be marginal. And the price will reflect that.

I have a 2600k OC to 4,6GHz.
Crysis Warhead uses all cores equally but only charges 43% of the CPU at the worst moments of the game in enthusiastic mode at 1920x1200 2xAA.
Most of the game seems to be calculated in the GPU ( GTX 580 )
The comparison maybe is not so valid with CoD.
