Microstuttering tests on ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

[gosh]

So to understand what is causing delays in the GPU, you posted an untested and unproved theory on a CPU?

Proof would come from testing the hypothesis.

Fail.

Here is one test that could indicate that there is some problems in the total package for Intel when games are running on high res and/or is advanced in graphics.
In these tests one Phenom 9600 (2.3 GHz, 2MB L2 cache) wins over one C2Q (3,2 GHz, 12MB L2 cache)

It seems that games that are heavy on I/O is a problem on Intel. If it is something wrong with the motherboard or other problems there I don’t know. But that is the only test I have found where they compare AMD with Intel on high res with PCI Express 2.0. Video Card used is 8800GT
