Question about -cpucount =?

Recommended Posts

Okay so I have an i7 950 that has 8 threads, which translates into 8 virtual cores in total, though it still is only a 4 core processor. On TM it shows 8 cores, would I therefore put -cpucount=8 or -cpucount=4?

Also, would I get more fps with HT on or HT off?

You would put it at 4. You have 4 CPU cores which support Hyperthreading- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading That's why it reports itself as 8.

However, it's my understanding that Arma 2 has been patched up so that specifying this information is no longer necessary and is autodetected.
