The GT300/Fermi Thread

[SKYMTL]

You need to pay attention...
They left A.I. ( Artificial Intelligence ) enabled, thus the benchmark becomes CPU limited and differences between differently clocked or even maker CPUs arise.
Considering that in a sum of games the 5870 needs an i7 clocked at 3.7GHz to be CPU-limit-free, and there you have it.

FINALLY someone hit the nail on the head....

I just wish I had said that myself.

However, it begs the question: if the HD 5870 is CPU-bound in the tests, why isn't the GF100 as well?
