S.h.r.i.k.e. Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I have a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Callisto BE 3.2GHz AM3 overclocked to 3.5GHz. It is dual core, obviously. I know that Black Shark doesn't really take direct advantage of dual cores, except minorly. I have a socket AM3 motherboard. I am just wondering if there is a better CPU (that will give noticeable fps improvement) I can buy without having to change out my motherboard. There are a bunch of better multiple cored socket AM3 processors, but since BS cant really take advantage of the multiple cores, I'm not sure any would really provide a noticeable improvement. Am I wrong? Edited April 11, 2011 by S.h.r.i.k.e.
MTFDarkEagle Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Since you have an AM3 socket, you can upgrade to any AM3 socket processor. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
mvsgas Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Have you tried unlocking the core? I unlocked my 560 and now I got 4 cores and so far have been great in BS. I know unlocking does not mean you will get 4 cores but I think it i worth the try. I upgraded from a q6600 so maybe is just the upgrade. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
