Six core CPU's an advantage for CoD?

Nice post Gunslinger, do you think the win7 program..Windows Experience Index tells you anything concrete or is it more of a suggestion? I am 7.4,7.4,7.5,6.9 (and 5.9 HD )

Thanks OD. I don't think the Win 7 score all that valuable - between the types of CPU/GPU's that folks are talking about. On the other hand I've never compared numbers with anyone.

Since you've put yours out there here's mine (just re-ran assessment to be sure):

7.5,7.5,7.8,7.8, 5.9HD - as you know max is 7.9

So I have a last gen or so MB - LGA 775 Gigabyte EP-45 UDP
Processor is Intel Q9650 Quad OC'd to 4.0 w/4 GB of RAM
Graphics is ATI HD5870 Cat 10.10
Win 7 - 64

There are faster systems out there, that run for example ROF at higher frames and with all eye candy on - I'd say these newer systems provide a noticable difference in performance.

On the other hand they cost a lot more and I've had my system for about 2 years and current graphics card for over 1 year - and I can run 90% of what they can at the same FPS if that makes any sense. Sometimes the graphics bells and whistles are subjective - like do your really want to use Bloom, HDR, etc.... some do, some don't.

So in the end - I don't think this Win7 score tells us anything wrt CoD. Guess we'll see when it comes out.

S!

That could easily mean they are waiting for data, or running the game's version of "wait for next input". That's one of the fun things about the windows Task Manager.
