geekevo wroteMay i ask how much is your ping?and do you lag at that ping? at 64 players?
My latency is around 100ms best (in-game, server listing pings are useless. USA servers have 100ms ping :P try to join them and you'll get upwards of 200ms, if not 300ms). This is to UK, for example. Last time I tried, latency to Germany was 370ms. My guess is that it's using satellite. 64 player games do not lag since the latency is the same regardless. You may think that 64 player maps are really intensive. They are not intensive on internet bandwidth, no, they are intensive on CPU. Those games are where a good CPU makes a difference. Unlike singleplayer benchmarks of Battlefield 3 that show that going beyond dual core does not make a difference. In multiplayer, yes it DOES make a difference. At least if not quad core, a fast dual core should.
And please avoid nested replies. If there is no need to quote the whole paragraph, then refrain from doing so. It's to keep replies neater and easier to read. I learned that after multiple times. Thanks in advance :D
