Turn off hyperthreading, it's crap for games anyway
This is the truth. Multiple physical CORES does not have any (negative) impact on games, hyperthreading is another story all together though. HT enabled is quite lovely when rendering stuff, but "just" having four cores gives you "good enough" rendering-speeds, while also not having a negative impact on games. Mutlicore-rendering, which is a software-setting in contrast to the above, has never worked very well in source-games for some reason. It crashes on some architectures / setups / combinations, gives worse / better performance when actually working on others. General rule-of-thumb would be to turn off HT, see if multicore-rendering improves your framerates and if it does -- keep your fingers crossed your game won't crash every 2-3 hours. Some strange people also like to use tools to forcibly load hl2.exe onto a single core and set the task to "real-time" when launching the game. Try that if you want to squeeze the last drop out of your CPU.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=8860&post=148758 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:09:50 +0100 Reply by Mr Mugabe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-8860/page-1/?recent=149524#post=148752 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=8860&post=148752 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:59:40 +0100 Reply by SfnX https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-8860/page-1/?recent=149524#post=148749 Quoted from Pyle
[...] Buy nvidia :) GTX 295 for example will give you the 350+ fps with everything maxed out ( except resolution ), didnt test above 1680 x 1050.
waste of more cash. plus theyre hard to come by nowadays. since source is cpu based then it defeats the option to simply buy an expensive gpu. make sure that youve set the options too mulicore and you should be fine.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=8860&post=148749 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:55:43 +0100 Reply by sickless https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-8860/page-1/?recent=149524#post=148747 Quoted from alfa
I7 works fine for me...350 fps on max settings with multicore enabled and all that stuff
The same, but my video card is ati radion 4870 vapor-x, i7-920 @ 2,67Ghz, 6gb ram]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=8860&post=148747 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:52:23 +0100
