With the shocking requirements of recent games like Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition and them requiring a quad core processor or a dual core with hyperthreading (i3) do you guys think this might be a continuing trend in new major releases?
I was shocked when I realized I would not be able to play either game with a dual core processor. G3258 owners must be disappointed as a lot of gamers actually purchased one on the basis of it being a cheap performance killer when it came to gaming. I understand the need to advance gaming by using more cores, but with these two games especially I feel as if us dual core users have been shafted. Its even come to attention that some gamers have disabled 2 cores on their processors and managed to play the game flawlessly. Which may lead us to believe that they run a true or false check on the processor itself before launch.
Anyone else think dual core may be on its way to the graveyard when it comes to gaming?
