Should all i7 users be using all four cores?

Recommended Posts

..with the '-cpucount=X' parameter?

I don't think I've done it yet. Will I see much a difference?

Newbie I know but, thanks...

I am not using this parameter and running Win7 with HT turned off. It runs just fine for me.

You can turn HT back on :)

The CPUCOUNT switch is useless for HT enabled i7s as every 2nd core is virtual with HT on.

I also remember reading that the CPUCOUNT switch was just plain useless and didn't work.

Do you mean after patch 1.03?

Yeah it's ok now (at least it is for me) :)

The -Cpucount is for if you want to tell the game to use less than your maximum amount of cores. So if you were having problems with a quad core you'd try -cpucount=2 to see if it works better while only using 2 cores.

I have HT turned on and every setting in the game on max and it runs absolutely flawless other than server side issues on the bigger servers.

I have tested HT off and on and I noticed no performance difference whatsoever.
