I really want to be able to run High-Physics games. I've played games such as "Starmade" and "Scrap Mechanic" but my Macbook Cpu (I7) Really can't handle the physics, Then when a large collision happens. My screen freezes and then sometimes recovers or crashes.

Would getting a dual cpu motherboard and a better graphics card improve the physics?

DucksQuackDontEcho,

I think there are some games in which each character runs it's own thread, but a quick look suggests that at least Scrap Mechanic is not multi-threaded in that way. The first thing to do is to research the basis of the problem, whether the games are multi-threaded and can use every CPU core and in particular if they are PhysX accelerated which will be derived...

The first thing to do is to research the basis of the problem, whether the games are multi-threaded and can use every CPU core and in particular if they are PhysX accelerated which will be derived in the GPU.

The answer means the difference between a lot of CPU cores or a lot of CUDA cores. My tendency is to think having a CPU with the highest possible single-thread rating- the i7-4790K today (Passmark = 2528) and current model, the i7-6700K (2329)- and a GTX or two with a lot of CUDA cores and high PhysX rating and run off of M.2 drives. There are of course all kinds of levels of this and overclocking possibilities, etc.

But, in short, I don't think dual E5-2670 would be a good gaming CPU configuration. -Excellent server one though.

Cheers,
