Why does phenom perform better than an intel quad at high resolution in Lost Planet?

Holy thread-digging batman

As for the "lower FPS but smoother"... please, don't kill me ( that's definitely funnier than this phrase ).

When you have:

Lower minimum FPS
Lower average FPS
Lower maximum FPS

And probably bigger drops from average FPS to minimum FPS...how can you feel that the game runs smoother than the other setup with higher min FPS, avg FPS and max FPS and less fluctuation ?

Stop beating on a dead horse

and... like we said... in GPU Limited scenarios ( most of the games [ if not all ] when run under "normal gaming" settings ) the processor plays little to none ( none most of the time ) [ if you're running anything better than a A64 3500+ / P4 3.4GHz ] role.
