Arma 2 & Core i7 Hyperthreading - Tested

[choC 10]

Do you want any shots not "out in the middle of the ocean" with over 60fps to believe me? Like somebody said it's simply unrelevant "where" in this case. Btw, I'm not using the Tray tools just the CCC to turn Vsync off.

Finally forced it off with ATI Tray Tools so all good now.

Just out of curiosity: are there any realworld apps that DO benefit from hyperthreading?

After all you allready have 4 cores and atm not a lot of apps really use multicore.

I did some tests myself over 1 month ago

Sadly due to over zealous admins the thread got locked and dissappeared

There definitely are, unfortunately most of these applications are exclusive to audio/video encoding.

To be honest I can't really recall a game that benefits from Hyperthreading, however unlike Arma 2; most games do not suffer such dramatic performance issues with HT enabled.

Anybody got any post-1.03 data?

It's still better with HT off. It's definitely playable with HT on but there is still hitching and it's still annoying.

ok, nvm. i redownloaded my video drivers and my HT off score went up noticeably. also my video card drivers crashing while playing ArmA don't happen now.
