well, as u mention situation above, those are GPU dependent, nothing do with the proccessor...

Yes. But when you go into open world/hood, the game will try to load tonnes of things and simulate them at once. those will definitely use CPU power. And those will use the same graphical settings, thus amplifying the resource usage.

Unlike most games that goes from level to level, stages to stages, open world in games have tonnes of AI running simultaneously. And the map are loaded constantly and continuously to simulate the illusion of seamlessness. Other games only loads parts of the scenario/map/stage and will only load the rest when the current stage is finished.

And if processor has nothing to do with it, it still doesnt explain why the game is a lot smoother than before, when it was on the old M11X.

BTW, I just tested Dragon Age Origins on high setting. Works really well. Last time I uninstall it and only play on PC due to the horrible lag even on mid settings.

I think its something to do with turbo boost. do you turn it off when you tested it? I keep mine on.

agreed.

what you explained regarding AI, maps and everything are true indeed, but the limiting factor here is GPU instead of CPU.

like what i argue with Putochip123 before about T9800 + GTX260M vs i7-720 + GTX260M where the framerate is barely different from each specs even the optimization of Crytex Engine is more on dual core instead of quad core, but still - it won't affect much because the limiting factor here is GPU, not CPU. thats the concept. this explanation is supported and agreed by Astria.

Havent tried with it off yet. But I'm comfortable with it on so far.

Basically those are just my experience with R2. I find its better, save for the power consumption and lack of VGA output (which is seriously annoying).

This is a benchmark done.. http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-...tml#post6420018

However don't know if in game would be the same. Unless the game supports HTT i guess?
