colubridae Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I am thinking of updating my system. Can anyone say if it is worthwile getting a dual core? I seem to remember a thread about this somewhere on LOMAC or IL-2, but can't find it now... please help with advice.. col
SuperKungFu Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 if you are updating your system, don't focus on what you can get based on lock on only. Duo core is defiantly worth it in the future. I can say for a fact, it dramatically increased my multi-task. As for lock on, it won't take duo core to its advantage, its going to be running on 1 core. That being said, I have a duo core and I'm running lock on just fine [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
XLR8 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I agree,the dual core is better for multi tasking.I had a test [bench mark type] that showed some of the task that the prossessor was doing.The game was being used by 1 core and my flight stick and a couple other things by the other core.I have both dual core pent. 3.2 in one rig, and a core 2 duo 2.4 in another rig.The core 2 duo flat out runs my dual core.One exsample of what is capable with my core 2 duo,is I can download stuff from the internet and play FSX at the same time.Hope this helps.
kiss4luna Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I upgraded my rig to dual-core 3800+ last spring, and it effeciently increases multi-task proccessing. I usually playing DOOM3 and let Sony Vegas doing video rendering in background. this is impossible when i was using single-core AMD 3000+ RTX 3070
PoleCat Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Just to clarify something that may have been missed here. With the Intel C2D or Quad core processor LockOn runs much better not because of the two cores themselves, as LockOn has no support for this feature, but rather because of the architecture of the individual cores themselves. For this reason IMPO they are a much better choice for LockOn then any existing AMD dual core CPU as well. Quite simply Intel is far better in this regard for LockOn. The Intel architecture is way better and Lockon is CPU locked and this is how you are able to kick its @ss with these procs. I moved from a P4 3.4Ghz proc OC'd to 3.7 to an E6600, all else remained the same, same RAM, same Graphics Card etc. Frame rates doubled with this configuration. I am now running at 1920x1200 8XAA and 8XAF getting 30-100fps in the pit. As was mentioned you can also assign lockon to one core of the cpu since that is all it will use any way and the othere core to all othere background tasks for a modest performance boost.

TorwaK Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I've dual core system and quite happy with it. Btw soon getting a brand new Q9300.

Out great post, agree with polecat, intel atm are the bread and butter in terms of cpu performance. and from what i have read quite sometime ahead..as well.. dual core series is the way to go atm. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
kiss4luna Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, some previous performance tests (including LockOn) I saw have proved that Intel Core2 cpus are much better than AMD X2 cpus RTX 3070

I've had dual core for 2.5 years now and I'm going to skip the quad cores for the 8 cores that are just coming out now... http://www.apple.com/macpro/ My 2 gig of RAM is not enough...I'll want 4 minimum.

Out How did you go about assigning a core specifically to Lock On? Was there some sort of app that you had for doing that?
