It still seems a bit weird to me. How can an application support multy-core but not hyper-threading or vice versa. I'd think that programmatically they're equivalent. With hyper-threading on, my system has 12 logical cores. With hyper-threading off, it has 6 logical cores or threads. I'm not sure whether the programs even distinguish. I did read somewhere though that the load will be put off somewhat from the CPU onto the GPU with EDGE.

Oh. So they are working on multicore? They're not mentioning it. Seems like a big thing to not mention in that post. Are you sure?

Yes. It is overclocked to 4.48 from 3.33. Edge will not support multi core. Just improvements for multi GPU. link

I have an SSD but I thought they only affect loading times. I'm just worried as I see so manny people here have newer CPUs at higher speeds especially when you want to go at maxed setting in vr resolution and refresh rate. I was planing on waiting till EDGE and CV1 but my GPU died and will probably have to upgrade prematurely as waiting without a GPU till those two get released might take eons.

I see. Although I'm fine with 1080p on monitor, I read that for CV1 you'll need a decent 4k gaming machine because of expected high resolution and refresh rate on that thing. Which is why I'm worried.

I have an old computer that I intend to upgrade in the future. my current specs: i7-980x @4.48GHz 6GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz cl6 GTX 580 @ 2.0 x16 after upgrade: i7-980x @ 4.48GHz 12GB DDR3 @ 1866 cl9 (or maybe 12GB @ 2000Mhz cl8 ) 2 x GTX 980 @ 2.0 x16 x16 Having simming with rift CV1 in DCS at the highest settings in mind, would this be a worthy upgrade? Or is the cpu and/or ram and/or 2.0 PCIe slot too slow and would bottleneck the GPUs? Any help would be appreciated.
