The Game Rundown: Finding CPU/GPU Bottlenecks, Part 1
Wondering if your favorite game wants more CPU or GPU muscle? We tested 20 different titles using a GeForce GTX 460 and a Core i5 processor (one of our favorite configs) in order to figure out where a solid mainstream machine gets hung up.
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis
As with Avatar, the Divinity 2 numbers are inconsistent. A single-core CPU will create a huge bottleneck, but at the same time, it shows no more than 43% of CPU utilization. When using a dual-core CPU, some kind of valve is turned on and the game runs much better. Looking at the utilization numbers , we see that two cores are almost overkill. Four cores hardly increase frame rates at all.
The game uses 690 MB of graphics memory with AA activated.
To get the most out of this game, you need a dual-core CPU and a solid graphics card.
