Default What games are optimized for quad core?

If no one can tell me any currently on the market or slated to be on the market in the near future, I'm probably going to be getting the E8400 when it comes out in a couple days here

SI'm pretty sure Supreme Commander supports four cores, so does Lost Planet. I think Alan Wake will use all 4 when it releases.

I thought Crysis was only dual core optimized?

OK so Lost Planet and Supreme Commander....

Should I go with a Q6600 over an E8400? bah! when are the Q9650's getting here!?

Umm...I'm pretty sure none of these games are quad core optimized. Crysis is D/C optimized, but that's it. If I'm wrong then let's see some links to proof

I don't believe that any game to this date is quad core optimized. I believe Alan Wake will be the first, or at least I remember reading someone boasting about it being the first one somewhere.

yup there are zero games optimized for quad core. Supreme commander shows marginal gains with quad core but it certainly isn't optimized for it.

Alan Wake ftw

They've been talking about Alan Wake since 2006, and I hear it's not coming out until 2009. F this I'm getting an E8400... 4.4Ghz FTW
