So I tried something simply as a test out of boredom.
the specs of the system
Phenom x6 1100t @ 4.0ghz
XFX 6870 oc 985mhz
Corsair Dominator 8gb @ 1333ghz
I ran a benchmark with all 6 cores on a game only using 2-4 cores. I then disabled 2 cores in the bios and I reran the benchmark. I seen higher fps. The game benchmark was for dirt 3. I see 37 average fps jump to 42fps with 2 cores disabled. I ran it a few times to test it. I am just experimenting and only playing around. But does this mean I d see gains in all games? Since no game uses all 6 cores. Why does this happen? And should I keep only 4 cores active since I dont video edit anymore or use many multithread programs? Thanks in advanced.
