Anyone know if and where are all the games that take advantage of a duel cpu/core or hyper Theading configuration at? In fact, are there any games? I cant find out any info about this, any websites that have reviews concerning this? I know that Ubisoft Realeased a 64bit patch for people that wanna play FarCry optimized for 64bit cpus, but what about HyperThearding patches for games? Any body have any info on this, or know of any games out there that implements use of HT or a duel cpu/core setup?

Hyperthreading isn't something that will help in gaming. It's for multi-tasking. No there aren't any multi-threaded games avilable for dual-core.

Yeah there is, well atleast their will be in Unreal engine 3. And Doom3 will soon have a patch released that will encode Doom with multi threads. And intel has a game that takes advandage of duel cores, it was shown off when intel indroduced its dulecore cpus. So I dont think you have any idea of what your talking about. I just want to know if there are any games that i dont know about yet.

sure thing Saber, its called "RoboHordes". I am unaware if its yet avaible to the public, but a demo will be acessible soon, so keep an eye out for that. This game is all physics-driven, third-person shooter designed for next-generation gaming hardware and uses Unreal Engine 3.

Here are some links:

Interesting links, hopefully the multi-threaded engine gets better (sooner) as time progresses, but for now gamers are still going to give the GPU top priority especially with the performance gain being speculatively under 10%.

Of corse there are Dual-cpu games!

Bionicle, Colin McRae Rally 4 and Perimeter are all multithreaded games that will run best on dual-core/cpu systems.

Perimeter will tax your system the most out of these games. It uses a dynamic terrain system which gives a unique spin to typical RTS games.

I'm quite excited to try out these games on my dual Opteron system with a hacked 6800
