I have an i7 2600k it has hyper threading and I recalled reading somewhere that hyper threading can lower performance if a game was not built for it since using the more cores would be better. The game I had read about was BF3 but my question is how would I make the game not use hyper threading and instead just use more cores. The only other game I would wonder about is Farcry 3 if that would help with that games FPS issues. Average 45 to 60 on a mix of medium and high graphics.
My second question is a better explanation on bottlenecking I have a NVIDIA GTX 560 SC picked it because of the many good solid reviews on it but I get the feeling from many of the posts I read that I probably should have just switched the cpu and card around on what I spent more on. Would my card end up slowing down my processor because of the gap in performance?
Btw besides the stock over clock on the card nothing else of overclocked except for the boost mode my processor does on its own.
