[QUOTE="Biff, post: 203440, member: 1252"] If you want to build a PC only for TPA, you definitely don't need an expensive Intel CPU. My game runs smoothly on max settings (DX11), because of the Radeon HD 7950 GPU. This machine only has an old AMD Athlon II X4 (3 GHZ) CPU. I often monitor the hardware when I run benchmarks or play games. When I play TPA two cores can go up to 35% cpu load for a few milliseconds, one core almost falls asleep and the fourth core is maybe at 5%. You know these values change all the time, but again only 2 cores do a little work. The maxium cpu temperature is only 30 degree Celsius and I don't use additional case fans for TPA. (I have a front panel fan controller) My cheap and old CPU laughs at TPA. [/QUOTE]
