Im thinking about getting a dual core pc when I get my new rig this time, as I love older games like the total war series which hasnt really been optimized for many cores. So when you get 10s of thousands of men on the screen at the same time, it would be sad to have a quad core that can only use like 1 core for all that work no?
Im just venting my thoughts here, as I really dont want to get disappointed about all the quad core hype when so many games dont even use that, and whats the point of actually getting a computer when I cant even see any games coming in like 1 year or 2 that I can take advantage of many cores?
Anyone out there who are experts on getting the most out of a dual core pc setup? I dont want to hear about "its nice to be able to have 150 tabs open with youtube while you are playing 3 games at once", as I want to get the most out of simply gaming and not video editing etc.
Would it really be so bad to get a dual core CPU right now, also because the newer graphic cards would bottle neck a dual core setup?
I just dont want to get disappointed if I get a good quad core CPU and then it still cant play an old demanding game like rome total war with mods + stacked armies etc without dropping low in fps.
Anyone out there who has a quad core modern computer and can play rome total war with stacked armies and no problems in fps?
I just dont want to get disappointed, and its hard to find good threads about this on the web, please air your thoughts on my issues lol.
sorry for the wall of text guys
