gears runs on one core

[purp]

Yes once games are being written properly, the games coming out in a few years will look truly amazing. Lets hope the do more than make them look great, but play great too.

yeah, how could they run it on 1 core its amazing :0

[thisguy211]

agreed

Ok let me clear things up, pretty much all of the games so far are actually using all 3 of the cores. All in a different way, but in general one will be for physics processing , one for the digital sound encoding and one for the visuals (thats how it can pump out HD res's).

Now even though the 3 cores are utilised to an extent, not all of the hardware threads are used, maybe 2 out of the 6 or 8 available. Now this makes the biggest difference to the games performance. Now the direct pc ported games are re-coded to accomodate the 3 cores but not the hardware threads themselves. So until a game is coded to utilise these we won't see much of an improvement in the visuals, as we have pretty much reached the maximum current graphic technologies can offer, sorry to say it but its true.

So for the next few years we won't see much better than what is about to be launched, in particluar Gears of war and 2 days to vegas.
