perfectly into that category.

Actually it is interesting how so many people who obviously don't like these results feel the need to jump in and try to justify why a blind test is somehow "not real". Often these are the same people that will not question the bias of a reviewer creating a brand new review and including results from a 6 year old game or some older version of an application that has 3 or 4 newer versions. (That are now optimized for newer architectures.)
oh boy here we go again... and seeing who posted I am not surprised at all...

You know that this would help both systems right? Especial when we have such cases:

Guess which on of the two will be "smoother"... but yeah its so unethical, illogical and shady to actually want to suggest a level playing field... well I'll be damned. Guess its intels fault that there cpu can spit out more fps in none gpu limited scenes and gets hit harder if gpu limit kicks back in..

But if you think AMD doesnt suffer from this take a look at this (even if its is SLI)...

With GeForce GTX 580 SLI this game mimics what we saw in DiRT 3. Average performance is very close between the two CPUs. However, the big difference is an inconsistency in performance similar to what we experienced in ARMA 2. So while the performance is similar, the smoothness and consistency is certainly better with the Intel 2500K.

Maxfps is not the same as vsync. With vsync on it always tries to run at 60fps, if it fails to it runs at 30fps stable and so on and often this makes it worse then vsync off. maxfps just sets an upper celling at a certain fps rate.
What you eliminate with this is the huge fps drops lets say going form 120fps to 40fps and then back up to 90fps. Instead you go 60-40-60.

Just look at the Hardocp pic I linked at imagine everything cut off above the green 60fps line.
