It's simple. Your old server has a Xeon 5160 with 3.00 GHz and two cores. You're asking if adding another CPU compatible with your motherboard would let you run Far Cry 4, and whether extra cores would help with the slowdowns you're seeing.

Two main processors aren't compatible with Far Cry 4. Even if a workaround exists, it can cause noticeable lag and performance issues. Most titles don’t benefit from just two CPUs.

They seem quite outdated, and I’m unsure if a replacement would be feasible.

It doesn't necessarily have to be, but a hyper-threaded CPU can.

I believed including a second CPU would let Windows treat the system as having four processing units, which could significantly enhance gaming performance. This is because my rig already runs at full capacity with a GTX 760, and I think Windows would recognize four cores in my setup. I also discovered a used CPU for around twenty dollars on Amazon, making it a potentially valuable budget upgrade if it functions as expected.

I guess you haven't tried it yet, otherwise you would know THAT it works...Actually I don't really know how it works with older cpus, but i made a low budged gaming rig for a friend of mine, with a pentium G3258, overclocked to 4.4 Ghz -> the system is able to run FC4 on highest settings (actually the gpu is a little bit overkill as it is a 280x, but there is no trace of bottleneck). It can also run Dying Light on best setting at above 30 fps.

Talking about Far Cry 4 and looking at benchmarks, frame times exceeds and suffering increases. This has been reduced but it is fact and I am stating it so he know. Also that is an overclocked 2 core not an outdated Xeon. Please think before you speak

Discussing Far Cry 4 as the answer to a question is interesting. What are you curious about?

It means you're asking if it's possible to run FC4 on a system with just two CPUs.
