joshua444 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hey i'm getting a new computer..well, i just got one a month ago an AMD 64 3700+ with a gig of ram but i'm thinking of getting a duel core 3800+. I'm tempted cause i work at Tiger direct and i'm always seeing these great systems that comes in every week. So my question is how is MVP on a duel core...i've heard that some games dont' even work.

I'm tempted cause i work at Tiger direct and i'm always seeing these great systems that comes in every week. So my question is how is MVP on a duel core...i've heard that some games dont' even work. Just built me a new rig a couple of weeks ago. I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800, 2gig DDR RAM, and an ATI Raedon X1600 PRO. Runs the game like a charm. Haven't ran into any probs running my games. Oblivion is just flat out awesome. And lets not talk about PREY. WOW. You will be fine man.

Maestro23 - I am running the exact system you are including the x1600. But I do have a slight stutter when playing at Fenway. I have everything maxed out including 4xAA/ 4xAF with full trilinear. Do have any stutter problems playing MVP. Bud Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/22541-mvp-with-amd-duel-cores/#findComment-281549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
