what i mean is that if a cpu wins in a benchmark at a lower resolution then it doesn't mean it will be better for gaming. i see testing it at a lower resolution more of a different test than a test that is finding out how futureproof it is. in one situation the cpu is dealing with a lot of small frames while in another its dealing with a lot less larger ones.
