Ok, so I remember back in the day when quad cores just started hitting the market, and I shamefully bought one right away just to discover that when I played with my new expensive rig on new games as well as old they could barely use more than 1 or 2 cores.
Older games like Rome Total War is pointless for many cores, which let me down when I got a new expensive rig years ago, and I dont want to make that mistake again, thinking more is better, as I dont need my computer to do a 100 different things at once when I play games, and most games arent optimized for many cores etc last time I checked.
I havent played computer games for a while as my rig isnt up to partying anymore, but my question is this: would a strong dual core setup still be good for most future games?
Example setup:
Corsair CS 750M, 750W PSU
ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER
Intel Core i3-4350 Socket-LGA1150, Dual Core, 3.6GHz
Noctua NH-L9i CPU cooler
Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1866MHz 16GB
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
Would this work for games at max settings even though I have an old dual core CPU in there?
I would want to play games like the new Rome 2 (with mods ofc) and the old Rome, which is bad for multi cores, on maxed settings.
Help, tips are much appreciated
