Intel & Treyarch, Working Together for Better PC Gaming

[JoMaMaz]

For those interested in the technical aspects of the gaming world, you will want to read the newest announcement JD_2020 (Treyarch's Community Manager) posted at the CoD:Hub. Check it out below:

A quick heads-up that Call of Duty: World at War, and Treyarch's PC team was featured in a recent edition of Intel's "Visual Adrenaline" magazine. Intel, as you probably know, is a worldwide leader in chipset manufacturing. If you're reading this right now, chances are it is thanks to the technology Intel has helped create since the early days of computing.

More specifically, they delve into the inner-workings of multi-core process scaling, and how we utilized this technology to allow Call of Duty: World at War to perform so well on Intel's CPU's, and why in some ways, the PC gamer gets a bigger bang for their buck at the end of the day!

I have a quad core processor and I have had great performance with this game. But, I knew before I built my last rig that CoD games are always more processor focused games, so your processor is quite important when it comes to performance in the CoD world. I know we all hated some of the lag in singleplayer, but how has your machine performed in multiplayer? And, you can now see your fps, so that helps determine some things also.

Game has ran great in single, multi, co-op, and hosted co-op.

Intel Quad Core 2.4 OC 3.2
eVGA 8800 GTS 512 video card
4 GB RAM
Asus P5E motherboard
Soundblaster Xtreme Gamer
Windows XP SP2 32bit

FPS runs at 100 with a few minor things turned off like trees and grass. Ok ok, not trees and grass, but AA and medium/high settings on other things.

Don't have Intel.

I'm seeing ~90 FPS in MP on all high settings at 1920x1080 with 4xAA. I'm wondering what else can be turned up and still maintain 60 FPS with Vsync? Forced 8xAA?
I don't see a whole lot of difference when I OC my processor higher, so I'm running with a very modest overclock on my Q9300.

For some reason WaW runs like crap in co-op for me, though. It doesn't matter if I host or if my wife hosts, we both get a lot of lag sometimes and we're on a LAN.

This doesn't really have anything to do with developing the technology and playability, they are doing an EA and will probably offer more maps sponsored by Intel with product placement.

CAREFUL INTEL!

Joining forces with Treyarch may make you sell buggy and incomplete CPU's

...maybe they can get intel to sponsor this round of expansion maps.

Indeed, the competition with EA for worst vendor is a heated one, but likley Treyarch dialed up Intel to aid with the next and "permanent" sound fix in which soundcards shall vault from their slots as silicon slag and eardrums shall thrum in harmonic ruin.

With a chip on their shoulder and a buck in their hand,
they'll leave us to smoulder and f*** the next band
of fools...
Before we can warn 'em
It's a Bailey and Barnum circus my friends.

Never again, not for me will it ever glisten,
And what can YOU do?

TELL ALL WHO WILL LISTEN!
