Here are some games that require more than four cores: Battlefield 4, among others.
These games pushed players to their limits. Based on my experience with Shogun 2, they demand a lot of skill and strategy.
Crysis 3, Watch Dogs, Mantle and DX12 are expected to handle heavy loads evenly across multiple cores. The task manager displays load on all cores, yet performance remains stable because the system rapidly switches between cores without actually utilizing more than four simultaneously in most games.
only titles that require more than four processing units or those that adapt well with varying numbers of cores/threads... some tests show only partial thread usage, similar to checking which games utilize virtual cores. Generally, applications that don’t push a single thread tend to be limited by the GPU rather than CPU limits. If you have access to every other header on my FX8 and haven’t encountered a performance boost with an X6, it’s likely related to threading efficiency. Some popular options include SimCity 2013 World of Tanks, SWTOR, DayZ, Crysis (various versions), Payday 2, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Minecraft (with mods), Watch Dogs, and Arma 3. Frostbite engines usually work best with more than four cores. If you’re considering a Phenom 1055T, let me know what you need to test!
