Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

NO!

-fuzz

No, it only makes use up to 4 cores, 4 threads.

Yup, having HT enabled actually decreases performance these days.


Still, what I think you did mean to ask about was multithreading, which I think is used to some degree in ARR. As far as possible while having graphics devices involved, anyway.
Why you'd ask in this thread in the first place, however, is anyone's guess.

Good reason i5 was recommended for gaming over an i7 in some circles.. you don't gain anything from the HT in the i7.

If ARR can use 4 cores that is a nice improvement.. parallelization in programming is (or was when I studied and worked with) pretty difficult

With the introduction of CUDA and similar technologies, a lot more interest has been focused on algorithms with high concurrency, but very few of those applications have gone much past the "cool proof of concept" stage. If you have the interest (and an hour to wade through the thing), this is a very interesting look at highly parallel procedural terrain generation on the GPU with DirectX 10. Of course, that algorithm pertains to hundreds of concurrent calculations, instead of just 4-12 on hyperthreaded CPUs, but the research is being done.

Hi there, actually Ragnarok was the lowest populated server but, there weren't any issue to make parties for events and other stuff. Also people was from everywhere, of course lots of EU folks, but also from Japan, USA, I myself from spain and many more places.

¡Hola! ^^
We are a group of four people (2 girls, 2 guys) from Germany and plan on going to a server with a higher german player base for various reasons but also because one of us struggles with English and had problems finding a group in 1.0 when he was the only one of us online. Since Sargatanas partly used to be Lindblum which had the highest german population, it is either Sargatanas or Ragnarok we'll go to. Haven't decided yet @.@
Looking for german speaking players and my other post in mind, we actually look for a nice mix like you mentioned :S This is going to be hard to decide.

I think all this tech talk is keeping people away. But worry not, I have just the thing to get them back!



Cats. 60% of the time it works every time.

But... Why do those cats look at me with drool coming from the corner of their mouths? (o_O; )

Btw, i was thinking about giving Tera a go while FFXIV is down, so i'm downloading the client from Tera (Europe), but i was wondering... On which server are you (the peeps in here who mentioned they had a Tera Character) playing?

[Dhalmel]

I stopped playing Tera, it became too repetitive. It made me miss being able to change class on the fly like in XIV.

^ Same here.
I also ended up getting too much money from the v-day event, and it made things way too easy for me.
