More Crysis 3 CPU benchmarks

[Mungri]

I only just noticed that there were some 1080p benchmarks right there.

Its a very similar case to BF3, the game hits GPU limitation very quickly, its hardly CPU limited at all.

I cant believe the claims I'm hearing that this low resolution testing is a valid method of testing CPU limitation in a graphics hungry game running with a GTX 680. If you want to test CPUs then do it in an application that doesn't rely so heavily on the GPU. Any game is going to be biased based on which hardware it is coded to run best on. And its very obvious, at 1080p neither Intel nor AMD are winning. Both their CPUs are too weak for such a graphics limited game.

And no, you should NEVER lower the resolution below a current monitors native resolution. The amount of blurring an loss of sharpness and IQ is never worth moving away from your monitors native resolution. Reduce AA first, then graphics settings. The only exception being if you are playing very old games that don't support, or look too uncomfortable at high resolutions.
