How many CPU Cores does MW3 utilize?

TubbyCanadian · 11-15-2011, 03:20 PM

If you have a 6 core processor, does Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 utilize all 6 cores? If not, how many can it utilize?
Thanks

probably 2 cores required. It usesthe same engine as mw1 and mw2 so .. it doesnt need much cores. It isnt that CPU dependant. I have X6 AMD 1065T

Could you check to see if all 6 of your cores are working while you are in gameplay?

Yes with MSI Afterburner. Its free. Its a simple tool for overlocking and it shows the activity of your current cores

.. I would have if I had the game and if I had a 6 core processor. That's why I'm asking smart asss.

MW3 runs the same as MW2 and COD4. I don't sense even the slightest drop from max framerate, whatever it is (probably 85 or 90 FPS).

I wonder tho if it uses more cores with theater mode on. would be awesome.

The amount of CPU cores doesn't matter too much for a game, mostly the speed.

It doesn't really matter. The game isn't very CPU intensive.

It depends. Games older than 2 years old often ran much better on faster dual cores. Only recently have games started running better with more cores.
