Need Help - Who would of funk it

[VoX]

Mitch, in most games my CPU goes up to 100% load, especially one that involves any type of AI. Admittedly this is not all cores, normally only core 0 and 1.


I'm also with ez on the amount of GPUs. Although most new games and pretty much all new releases support CrossFire/SLI, although some handle it in ways that are not the best.

A single 4890 will beat a fair amount of things atm, and when it starts to struggle and prices are low, you could pick up another one. 2x 4890s and the i7 setup will be unstoppable (until the 5xxx and GTX3xx series are out ofcourse, but then it will still hold its own against them, and I doubt there will be many games that will fully utilise the power of the GPUs.)

What games are you running that can max out a core on your processor???
