Multi-threaded games?

Firestrider · Mar 19, 2008

What popular or semi-popular multi-threaded games (>2) are out there now? I know there are a few...

Omsion · Mar 19, 2008

SupCom is one.

Krogen · Mar 19, 2008

There's quite a lot of games out there that support multithreading now.

Crysis
Unreal Engine 3 based games
Oblivion
Quake 4
Some CoD games
WoW

Using approximatly 2% of Core #2

Actually, I don't Valve has used multi-threading as of yet, outside of tech demos.

All these games utilize all of the four cores on a quad core processor? I'm not talking about 2 cores I'm talking about greater than 2 cores.

pretty sure supreme commander does as well, also game coming out alan wake will get a 20 or 30% boost from quad i believe

Supreme commander supposedly uses '2.5' cores, whatever that means. I've not yet heard of a game taking full advantage of a quad. If using a quad helped Crysis frames, it woulda been big news, right?

Dual with hyperthreading? Hey, maybe intel will do something like that. Or maybe half the third core in a tricore system.

What about flight simulator X?

Supreme Commander has two major threads that can't be broken down further. Those optimally take up residence on 2 cores. The 0.5 core is evreything else.

Them AMD tri-cores would seem to be optimal for it
