how many cores does crossfire use?
because call of duty runs faster on my computer then crossfire and call of duty is a graphic intense game
so my quiestion is how many cores does crossfire use?

dam mybad made n wrong board

I'm pretty sure that the game itself isn't optimized for dual cores, but by default distributing the threads in a process across cores is a function of the operating system and not the game.

Hmm...if a game was optimised for dual-core, it would say so in its recommended specifications but I remember a thread that said that CF only supports one core...

It uses all my cores but i dont have any problem i have try ina quad core 6600 and in a core i7 and it as no problem

because if it used both cores it would be better

Using both cores won't make it better. Crossfire uses direct3D for rendering instead of directx or opengl. Thats why it SUCKS.
Slow fps, no personalised resolutions, no multicore optimization, loss of all directx or opengl advantages.

Unless Z8games rebuilds all the game with directx8(or more) support, they will still have a lot of problems like strange artifacts, no vsync, no antialiasing, no filtering... nothing, making this game a superlow quality game.
Take a look at counterstrike 1.6. It's an old game, right, but it works fast even on low end pc's, why? Because it is optimized. Crossfire needs a complete rebuild.

Nop

Like I said, crossfire doesn't support that kind of acceleration.

directx or direct3d is the same thing
opengl is far superior but more heavy than directx

2 cores or 1 core
