Microstuttering tests on ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

[Hornet331]

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

lol again this strange review...

look at the cod4 test and compare the 1680x1050 with the 1920x1200 (ocend q9450). There is no chance in hell that with the same single (stock) 8800gt the framerate stays the same when you increase resolution, not even a gazillion more mhz on the cpu will make your game run faster, when the limintig factor is the gpu...

Same with WiC but now on the phenom rig -> 1027x768 28fps -> 1280x1024 28fps -> 1680x1050 28fps -> 1920x1200 28fps....
