I was reading an article that stated that some games and some progams can utilize all 4 cores of a quad core, while most games/programs can't.

My question is, what games and programs utilize it?


And how do i make a program utilize it?

Not very complete, but best I could find. Just google a bit and I think you should be able to find out a lot.

And as far as I know, as long as an application has been programmed to use x cores, you can't make it use more than x cores.

Quad Core is pretty recent compared to the gaming world. I don't think any game uses or even needs 4 cores to run.

It doesnt mean fill up the core 100 percent than move on... It means instead of using 2 cores @ 100 percent it would use 4 cores at 50 percent to lessen the load. So it would only be smart for a game to do so, and there are some i am sure of it.

Thanks for that link btw tmocky.

But i have a program that is a resource whore (written in C#) and im pretty sure it doesn't use more than 2 cores. If it used 4 im sure it would run smoother.

Thanks

It has to be written to make use of the cores and it depends how it's written that dictates how it will split the load. 4 cores doesn't automatically mean that the other 2 automatically get their load split in half, that's not always possible or might not even provide an advantage since there's a likely a fair bit of overhead keeping the threads in sync for a game.

Almost any recent game will make use of 4 cores.
