@ Gosh -- good job! This whole discussion has made me learn as well, I think overall it has been extra positive.

Jack
but why didn't he do that 2 months ago?
He based all his assumptions on that single forum posted comapring racedriver grid numbers. It would never come to my mind to say x processor beats y processor by only providing one sample of data...

as you know this is not the first forum he posted this, i think he doesn't expected to meet someone like you with a vast knowledge about cpus/silicon tech and the time and systems to give him real numbers.

For me his first post was a blunt attempt to start a flamefest, and i think even you saw it that way, when i look at the first page.

anyways, with your help this topic turned way from a blunt flamefest to a very informative topic.

The processor doesn't matter but the communication between processor and hardware, memory speed does matter when it comes to min fps.
simple, most gamers also do other thing then gaming. For myself i run boinc, and intel is way faster in the projects i run then amd.

Also -> overclocking raises your min fps, thats why you see gamers overclock there systems.
