Supreme Commander uses up to 8 cores. This guy did an indepth study on it and created an application to distribute the load more evenly. He provides screenshots and so on showing the cores usage.

this is a very nice idea! Props Gray Sky keep it up!

If anyone is into chess:
Deep Fritz
Hiarcs 11.1
Rybka mp 2.2
Deep Shredder
etc, etc.
Chess is a game very conducive to multiple threads.
So is that it? Any ideas on the future before this thread falls off the map?
@ mrcape: I have only been updating the first post with "verified" apps; those for which people actually report a taskmanager cpu usage. Otherwise, it's just hear-say.

Blender supports also multi-core processors, you can set the amount of threads used when rendering. At school I use 2 threads for dual-core cpu's and it's double times faster than with 1 thread. Don't have shot from quad core rendering as my q6600 is still waiting at store :) But below is wiki info about it.

you need to upgrade your list, e.g. supreme commander, the provided link should be proof enough..

A new C++ native implementation is in the works :)
Would any of you guys with a quad chip be willing to try Overlord? If definitely pegs at least 2 cores by itself.

Supreme Commander
Ghost Recon 2
LOST PLANET EXTREME CONDITIONS uses 4 cores.

A new render engine. Very demanding.
Crysis will use 4 cores. The devs mentioned that in several interviews.
TMPG express i use which is already on the list
good software and certainly uses all cores it sees....most time around 80%
I am 99% sure the compiler in hammer world editor can make use of a quad core. Very nice feature since maps can take 10 hours or more to compile on a 4ghz p4.
Does Windows count? XP & Vista will ultilize all cores.
So either way buying a Quad core even though your applications don't use all four isn't a bad idea, your multitasking will be greatly improved.
Especially if you're like me who likes to play games in Windowed mode and running a bunch of other crap all at once.
Plus with the price drops of Q6600 coming around the corner, why not OC it up to 3+ GHz and pay similar price between E6600/E6700?
Lost Planet - loads and heats up all 4 cores as can be seen in this Speedfan monitoring screenie, has that Intel Quadcore logo blurb in its opening scene.

Bioshock is only dual core right?
hey i used dvd shrink and it only uses 1 of my cores whats up with that?
It's been mentioned that both Alan Wake and Crysis will definitely utilize all four cores. Unreal I'm not sure of - But check out Intel's demonstration of Alan Wake. It's pretty bad ass IMO to see how they utilize their quad setup.:up:Quote:

btw, where can I find that demonstration of Alan Wake?
Unreal ED 4.0, the Level Editor for the Unreal Engine
Can't post Screenshots of taskmanager as I at the time of writing cannot run it due to lack of sufficient Graphics Card. Will post when I get the last shipment of parts for my new rig though, hold on.
Will post more later...
EDIT: By the way, wouldn't "Programs that use 2/4 or more cores. Please Contribute!" Be more all round and describtive?:cat:
