That doesn't mean that gaming tests at real world resolutions (i.e. 1280x1024 and 1680x1050) fails to show the performance difference wrt different CPU's.Originally Posted by Salavat23
Are you serious? As mentioned, he's not stressing the GPU. The lower the resolution, the more CPU bound the game is.
If it were up to you, you would probably want to test it with AA also.
Gaming with more detail is more stressful for the GPU, not so much the CPU. In case you didn't understand, he's trying to isolate the CPU performance.
That's why we have other benchmark test suites to test just the CPU. When it comes to testing CPU's and games, I'd like to see what difference a faster CPU can do for my graphics card with the settings I run my game at. No one on this forum (or any other PC hardware forum) runs their games at 640x480 and with minimum settings.
I suggest you throw out most of the components in your PC then.Some of us would rather go without a CPU, (if AMD went under) than give our cash to Intel.
No flames intended...
You do know that Intel collects royalties from the various technologies that they've invented other than the CPU itself? PCI Express, JEDEC, form factors, SATA, various I/O interconnects, CPU instructions, operating systems and circuitry are just some of the areas that Intel has either pioneered or contributed significant investment and reasearch into developing.
