Yes, hwbox numbers were the same because the GPU became the bottleneck so those numbers actually say less about the CPU and more about the GPU. The low resolution numbers I think are more informative if you wan't to future proof your rig so that say you upgrade to a faster card in a year or so the chances of your CPU becoming the bottleneck are less likely.
