minus-square@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year ago Esports Are there any popular games out there that can even use 8 cores? I can’t think of any.
minus-square@pat277@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•1 year agoCan use? Yes, some can. Need? No, plus, 10yo+ games freak out with too many cores, such as Prototype 2
minus-squareTrantariuslinkfedilink1•1 year agoA lot of games have fully multithreaded components (for physics or navigation for example). So they can use any amount of cores. Its pretty rare to see a game max out all cores on such a system since they are usually limited by something else first.
