With most minimum requirements stating that a quad core CPU is required to play, I was wondering just how well a Dual Core CPU could handle todays newest and more heavily CPU threaded games. In this video I Gimp my Intel i7 5960X two just to cores without hyper threading support while overclocked at 4.4GHz.
Check out how Rise Of The Tomb Raider, GTAV, and The Witcher 3 Perform with just two cores.
