Not a bid deal as such, just thought i mention it.

I haven't seen any proof of this from any benchmarks I've looked at. Older intels with price tag around 1k have topped 2600k but never seen 2500k taking the lead.

Maybe it can be true for older titles, don't know..

multi threading can be switched off.

By using the power button? By running DOS 3.0?

You can disable cores of your CPU in the BIOS, but AFAIK if your have a program that is written as a multi threaded program then you are still going to be running multiple threads even if it is on the one core.

cheers!

Ok thanks, so does cliffs of dover still support DX11?

[kendo65]

Not initially at release - they had issues that they were unable to resolve in time.

But it will be a priority for the (near) future.

I have a laptop that I want to do this on (not related to flight sims), I've looked in the BIOS, nothing doing so far as I can see.

Yeah, I think I understand that. The laptop has two real cores running at 2.13 GHz, and hyperthreads those to four virtual cores, presumably running at <1.07 virtual GHz, and it slows up all the time. Might be the slow hyperthreading, might be heat related, I'd like to stop the hyperthreading to see whether that made any difference, but the BIOS doesn't appear to have any options for that. I was hoping there was some way via Windows, because I haven't tried that yet.

Oh well, thanks for taking the time.
