From: Skybuck Flying on 27 Mar 2010 03:09 Hello, I have played the following three games, and noticed lag when running with "multi-core (rendering (?))" enable = true. 1. Quake 4 2. Left 4 Dead 1 3. Left 4 Dead 2 This was on a AMD X2 3800+ processor with nvidia 7900 GTX 512 MB ram card. To me it seems it's simply a "game engine" problem. The games were not properly written for "multi core". But what if I am wrong... what if something else is actually the problem ? Maybe the problem is with AMD's X2 3800+ dual core/first generation processor ? Maybe somehow it moves around a lot of data which lags it ? Anybody have an idea if it's a processor problem ? If so, are these problems solved for next generation processors ? Bye, Skybuck.

Huh ? Why ? The games run fine on single core rendering ;) So it's not the graphics card ! ;) Bye, Skybuck :) |
