Damn Dual Cores.

[OrangeC]

It seems like everybody on the internet has a dual core but me, I have a intel pentium 4 3.80ghz hyperthreaded processor, Now the thing is if new games like assassins creed for pc and some others require a minimum of a Dual core processor, what are the chances that it will run or even look good on medium settings,

Kep in mind that i have an nvidia 7900gtx SLI card and i think its a reason why games like crysis and stranglehold, also bioshock runs perfectly, cept crysis had stutters here and there. It kinda avoids a bottleneck on the sli.

So the question is, when will i come across a limit here i inevitably need to upgrade something?

7900? Get with the times noob.

Dual-core? Lol noob. Anyone who doesn't have a quad-core by now is a noob.

I have a Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz POS.

Why don't you stfu and give him so positive feedback instead of getting your fucking post count up.

Have you tried googling what the information you need? As in, searching for Dual Core Processors vs 1 Core Processors. Or like find a computer gaming forum you'd have so much more help in a forum that suits the subject you are need for.

Edit; My processor is Intel Celeron 1.7 GHZ, beat that.

Fuck you noob dickweed. That number goes up on it's own. I merely wanted to insult his GPU. Buttplug.

[High On PCP]

funny thing is, I know a guy who runs a small business, building computers(mostly gaming computers) and he is still using an OC'ed single core and his shit runs better(smoother, better looking) than my other friends who just bought gaming computers in the past 3 months.

I wasn't looking for insults, i was looking for positive feedback which you failed to bring.

Sup noobie.

[Zero-Man]

you need to buy new shit... seriously

[PenisLord]

I lol'd at your post, pentium 4?7900? Get with the times gramps.

How much are a decent intel dual core and an NVIDa 8 series card?

ITT: People who have no idea how to make a decent computer run at the speed of a top-notch computer.

You don't need to "get with the times", I am still running single-core hardware, and I bet you I can run circles around these retards. Don't listen to fuckheads with rich parents. Learn your hardware, find appropriate places to discuss what you can do to maximize it's performance, and generally upgrade only minor things, another gig of RAM never hurt any gamer.

Seriously, you have a decent machine. Don't just scrap it.

I have 4 gigs of ram installed on my computer but on Vista 64bit it showes 4gigs, however i reverted back to xp because vista sucks and most thrid party drivers including the network cards don't support 64 bit.

[GlutSow]

I have a Voodoo 3 that I got like 10 years ago and I can run Crysis on full settings. Its probably my 2 16mb sticks of ram tho.

You're bottle-necking that video card you know.

[yamahadrummer]

you got hyperthreading, dude.
that means you have two virtual processors, and everyone knows virtual is cooler than real life.
i wish i had hyperthreading, but im stuck with a shitty E6850:(

[MexAmercn_Moose]

i have a 7900 gs also, let the haters hate, i can still run crysis on low/medium settings.....on my laptop

[Lividum]

Noob? Noob, noob. Noob.

Noobnoob. Noob!

[navid]

the cow goes moo.
but seriously, gentlemen, i think its about time you give me free computers.

[kirtar000]

Think you got it bad? I'm on an AthlonXP 3200+, X850XT (AGP), and 1GB DDR1 memory on a board that can't do dual channel.

yea.

I still got you beat. Pentium 4, Radeon 9250, 256 MB.

I downloaded assassins creed and it ran really well for me on high, not one glitch.

[PsiRedEye22]

See? Don't let tech junkies rip on your shit, it works fine.

[OrangeC]

Its not just tech junkies, its also the system requirements that throws me off. same thing with stanglehold, midway said that you'd need a dual core which is obviously not true for that game. Same thing here. it all just a marketing ploy.

[PsiRedEye22]

Most shit is a marketing ploy, dude. People that think they know about technology love to throw System Requirements in your face when they don't even understand how the technology itself works.

Not at all. You can get a good single core, or even one of those low end cheapo dual cores(4400+x2 for like $60) you wont be hitting a bottleneck.

I'm running a 3700+ with a 8800 GT and i'm churning 70fps in TF2 with 16AF/8xAA, max settings at 1280x1024.
