Intel Q9450 vs Phenom 9850 - ATI HD3870 X2

[gosh]

Uhm... basically, I'm wondering why on the QX9650, there was always 2% of the time that fps was between 25 to 40. If you look at the screenshots again, on the QX9650, although fps is sky rocketting, 2% is always between 25 to 40. On the Phenom system, upon overclocking to 3GHz, it's always over 40. And minimum was at 45.

Is FEAR single threaded?

Testing a game that is using more threads (more memory, more details) will probably find if AMD doesn’t slow down as much.
