i've read that the machines from the presentations run octacores...

But i guess alot of people won't have the money to buy 2 Quad cores...

So i'm hoping the far cry 2 developers record a video soon of a normal Quad core pc(Q6600 or something) with normal graphics cards and stuff so we can see how it runs on a normal pc and not some UBER-pc no one can afford..

I guess from a commercial point of view it is not very interesting to show how Far Cry 2 looks on medium settings so dont expect seeing it before release.

Also most likely you won't need an octo-core processor to run on high settings. Perhaps for ultra high but not for high settings. This is just guessing though .

Achilles

The demonstrations used octo-core systems as the engine was still in development and therefore not optimised.

Once the game engine is optimised it should require less resources and should therefore work fine on a lower spec pc.

Some would argue a quad-core pc is out of reach of their wallet, so it would be nice to see a demonstration nearer to release of it on a single core CPU.

i dont believe in this octo-core system requirement cus UBI games are always optimised to its extents unlike others. Also consoles gona be running this game lol so i think they have to optimise it for the single core pc's even to play ultra high. consoles doznt have quad cores or sli'z ... so m looking at a very optimised game.hopefully

Well my next pc (ordered it) has quad core but not octo-core (wrote octa in the title) would've been 600Euro only for CPU power (Q9450X2)

so hope you guys are right that it'll run great on Quad core...


Ps: Really can't wait for the game to come out
