I remember. I'm gonna look for the thread to see if I mistyped something but here's what I must have said :
COD Finest Hour works but needs a very powerful CPU
COD2 Big Red One works only with Interpreter mode so you can't consider this game as playable
I thought you had read something about a recent fix for this game so I just asked the question
I may have skim read it, and my brain has a habit of making up the detail of things I skim read so I don't realise I only skim read them, and then horribly miss-paraphrase them, for example the results of base clock OCing which I got in a mess for misquoting a while ago.
Anyway you were partly right. I suppose COD2 would be as demanding as COD if this game was fully playable. I might be wrong though. For example it's weird to see COD games on Wii are more easily playable than COD games on GC. maybe @skid or another dev might give an explanation about this

What if it then turned out that he also lived in Germany, and in fact the house next to yours. Then you'd end up with a cross neighbour who would no longer invite you to barbecues. How would that feel?
I'm actually pretty close (Netherlands). But don't worry
(I don't care about CoD anyway...lol)
Quote:Eg one Call of Duty game which was made compatible enough to boot fairly recently still needs way over 7GHz of Ivy Bridge to go at 100%, and that's only in theory, as the maximum multiplier is 63x, giving 6.3GHz, so even with LN2 cooling, no one could attempt it.
Sandy bridge/Ivy bridge cpus don't scale well (performance) past 4.5-4.8 GHz.
Is Sandy Bridge (even @ 4.8GHz) powerful enough to run F-Zero (the extremely demanding Sand Ocean track with the heatwave effect) at 60fps?
or Trackmania (demanding tracks such as Coast A-5) at 60fps?
Yeah, i think so, the games should run very well. About 55-60 FPS i guess.
But with Trackmania, i'm not sure, i don't knwo the game. but i assume, that it's less demanding than F-Zero.

For 60fps (VSync'd) without dips on the 'Sand Ocean' track (the third track in the Ruby Cup), you need a CPU that's
~3.5 times more powerful than a Phenom II X4 970 (3.5 GHz).
The heatwave effect in this track and the 'Machine Select' screen are a b**** to emulate. Everything else runs 2x~3x faster.

Some of the tracks are
even more demanding than SMG (w/ LLE) and F-Zero.
