Man you can clock the living daylights out of the E6600, I have a quad and can't even load up all 4 coress playing crysis at 1152x864 with everything set to very high. Why dont you load up cpu-z and core temp to see if your cpu is the bottleneck, if not just get a good card.
:lol:
I've ran Crysis on my E4400 and noticed not even a dual core gets
fully loaded. Although I did notice it runs a lil more rougher then my Quad.
I wish people would stop saying that, but I guess they have nothing else better to say.
Crysis will run better on a quad (IMO), when the game has action going on. If you just standing in a peaceful part of the jungle, do you really want your cores to be loaded up, like you see on a regular single thread game, like Quake 3?
Running the Quake3 Demo, to where I normally see one core loaded on XP (90-100 percent), on Vista 64bit, one core is roughly 68 percent, and the other cores are NOT at idle, they still are at 10-30 percent loads.
I suppose I didn't play Crysis enough on XP when I had my quad to really notice how well if it does off balance. I'm only assuming, like I said before, that the threshold of the CPU usage is different in XP vs Vista.
