Umm...look at the results, it is playable on 2-core CPUs, but the game definitely benefits from 4-Cores. This is probably the first game to actually take advantage of more than 2 cores.

That is why the i3(2c/4t) 3.8GHz is outperformed by the i5(4c/4t) 3.0GHz by almost 10FPS.

Nope, Far cry 4 and the older gold - Metro 2033 used 4 cores.

2 thread game? I won't be buying this crap.

What, you want a game like Far Cry 4 that artificially refuses to launch for dual-core and tri-core owners? (Unless the game is pirated, then the restriction is removed, but I think they were clever and broke something else in the game for pirates.)

The pirated versions still have the restriction, the hack is just easier to use with the pirated versions.

Nope, Far cry 4 and the older gold - Metro 2033 used 4 cores.
FarCry 4 definitely doesn't use for 4 cores, the just implemented a stupid restriction for 4 cores. Using the hack and it runs just fine on a dual-core and there really isn't a noticeable performance degradation.

I'm not sure about Metro2033, but I don't seem to remember there being that big of a difference between a dual-core and a quad.

Well I ran the bench test and at 2560 X 1440 I get 60 - 80 fps. The same as I get in actual game play both story mode and on line. I also confirmed it with fraps. Nice looking game

Running it at 1440P with quite high settings and its damn smooth. Not complaining one bit

GTA4 was ahead of its curse GPU demanding wise - was using at gtx260(896gb ram) when it came and it looked good. Then on gtx 460/570 - was brilliant looking. Never thought of it as a bad port

*edit* Can see some of my specs are old specs. updating now

Nvidia needs to just release the 980 Ti already. I've been waiting for a good single card solution for 1440p long enough.

This could be one of the better open-world game for PC, albeit it's somewhat massive filesize. Graphic engine is one of the most highly scalable to date for the PC platform, so those who owns an entry grade, gaming ready PC should have no problem running the game, though you'll need an SSHD to load the game as traditional ones will take a little longer, which is the only trade-off. Ran the game using my Y50 is a breeze with everything on High, FXAA & V-Sync enabled. Smooth 60fps with small drop on rare occasions.
