Question for Intel Quad CPU owners and gaming

[star_ranger]

Fellow enthusiasts -

what has been your experience with the Quad core CPU form Intel and Gaming - are there any issues with gaming?

For those who have them - please post what games you play with no issues - I'd like to know - I'm considering getting one - but I don't want to get one if it isn't stable for gaming.

Many thanks in your help on this!

S.

Truth is, I'd be surprised to learn if anyone actually has any real world first hand experiences to share, yet...considering it was recently released and the $1000+ USD price tag...I'd love to see some benchies and screen shots...sorry if this post wasn't very constructive.

I've got one but I haven't had that much time to test.
Went from a X6800 to a QX6700

Also I went from a 7800GT to a 8800GTX at the same time.

So performance increases were pretty much impossible without hours and hours of free time ;P

Anyway, there's pretty much nothing out there to use all four cores, there will be, but not now.


No Issues so far however.
If there is i'll be sure to post here.
