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

[BenchZowner]

Hi Bench! Welcome to this topic!

Ironically you fail to impress me with your "tone".
Since I'm not welcome here, I'll just make my point clear with a short text response.

Since you are having hard time reading anything except the thread title, here's some help:

If this is a attempt to spice up things, you've failed.Sorry.
I take it it's your way to make humor.Bad sense of humor, but who cares.

However... I did read your post, twice.

1. this thread is about an article made by jumpingjack

Very nice.

2. in the article phenom outperforms intel quad clock for clock in gpu intensive levels of lost planet at high resolutions

Excuse me, but to come to a conclusion you need to have a clear image of what happened, how it happened & why.
Unfortunately you didn't pay the attention needed to comprehend the test.
Let me help you out:

The Lost Planet game was set to minimum settings on all graphical options except effect quality (which was determined to have significant CPU component) and filtering, these two options were set to high, a screen shot of the graphics settings page is shown below.

No anti-aliasing. All game settings set to minimum apart from the effect quality setting.
This is making this test CPU limited at any resolution up to 1920x1440.

3. this thread is about how this is possible

Explained above.

If you're just going to be in denial about the benchmarks shown in this article, you might as well open your own thread about this, as this thread is not about whether or not the benchmarks are right.

It's about why the benchmarks show what they show.[/quote]

I'm never in denial. I'm not a lawyer neither a manufacturer's rep.
Unfortunately you don't have the right to tell us if we can or cannot judge the article's testing methodology and results.
Once again, the explanation is shown 2 "quotes" above.

Have a nice day!

I will.
