Well I have an Intel C2D 8400 @ 4GHz and a BFG Geforce 275 GTX OC and while my CPU usage is usually at 90% or so, my GPU usage is usually around 40-45%.
How exactly is that "getting the most out of my graphics card"?
I'm quite tempted to buy a q9550 CPU as that is basically the best I can get without upgrading motherboard/RAM as well. I would think that since my CPU is being used near 100% and my GPU isn't even used half way, that upgrading to a quad core would benefit me, however this review goes against that logic...
I would like to see actual Dual Core processors tested with midrange cards to see how big of a difference it really makes. An i7 even running on 2 cores has benefits over a Core2Duo so I have a hard time going by those results.
Basically, a followup review focusing on CPUs would be great for all of us with decent video cards wondering if we should grab a quad core.
