Just thinking about this while im at school today n i dont quite understand why this happened to me. Before, i had AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ BE AM2. When i upgraded to my current CPU, AMD Phenom II x4 940, my fps dropped down 10 fps in both games! I think i know what happened. Crysis must be optimized to run on dual-cores. Since my Phenom II is a native quad-core, it couldnt recognize or utilize the cores too well. Now if i had a Core 2 Quad, that has 2 dual-cores stuck together, then i bet i would of gotten a 5 fps or something boost instead of a 10 fps spike.
what i plan to do later on is upgrade to either 4GB or just make the jump to 6GB, idk because i would want to go DDR3 since the prices are dropping rapidly. Of course, i would be jumping to 64-bit, which is what i want to do too with Windows 7. Question is, would the extra RAM help me get back the fps i need? Another one is, what do u guys think what happened that caused my fps to spike down 10 fps in both games?
every other game i have increased in performance, as it shows using Fraps, but not Crysis/Crysis Warhead/Crysis Wars.
