Can I get a list of games that support quad core?

Wasn't Crysis quad core optimized? Well the unreal 3 is multi-core optimized for sure. Don't forget that the quad cores give superior performance even without the game being optimized for it. If you are running some apps besides the game at least which we all are if you think about virus protection and such. Not to mention that this is looking like the future for processors.adrake4183

true, not to mention the sound processor for anykind of sound, especially 5.1 and such..

and the razer deathadder mouse i have has apps running for it as well..

not to mention all the services one may be running as well.

including the anti-virus ones you speak of and more.

Multithread does not equal quad core. Thanks for your Google efforts though

It'll be a while before any consumer-level application starts to support all 4 cores. With gaming, for instance, the need really isn't there - the bottleneck is rendering graphics, which is 98% a graphics card function. The second most important consideration for gaming is lots of RAM (again, for handling graphics), and a distant third place is the CPU.

It's not that a quad core won't run any game better - it probably will. But it's because the quad core is a superior processor - not because it necessarily has four cores.

A modern graphics card is the equivalent of an entire pc of only a few years back mounted on a card. It's an intensely specialized, powerful, dedicated engine. I'd put my emphasis there.
