What games utilize quad core cpu's now and which do you know will in the future?

[scheibler1]

I'm about to upgrade my cpu to an e8500 or q6600 and figured a thread like this could give everyone in my situation an idea.

Only quad core optimized games that I know of are:

Crysis
Supreme Commander

Not sure about any upcoming games or older games lol

Alan Wake is/was supposed to damn near require 4 cores. Or so I read over a year ago. Who knows what's going on with it now.

 

[Anubis]

not many at all

personally if i were you id wait for Nehalem

fsx

FSX and Supreme Commander are the main examples right now. Crysis may be also using four cores, but I haven't seen any evidence that it actually gains anything over two cores.
