Just run it with task manager up and see if it is using all 4 cores.

I don't know, but I have it absolutely maxed on my system and it is running ultra smooth. I suppose I could disable a couple cores and see whether there is a difference.

Not to bash but AFx16 is as must at the minimum 24/7 settings...
who runs a game without AFx16?

According to my Logitech G15's performance monitor it sure does use all 4 cores.

O.O
0xAF

4xAF

and 16xAF is 4 times the better sharpness on textures on further away.


I find it hard to believe that people with high-end PC's and thousands of gaming hours haven't experienced their basic hardware settings.
Not pointed to you only since this is very common it seems.
I think there is a thread regarding every setting about NVCP/CCC and what they do but I'd suggest you play some with your graphical settings and find out what setting you find best for your need.

EDIT: I found out that this picture was also found on one of my list of hate sites.
