More Crysis 3 CPU benchmarks

But do you play at low res + low settings? Nope, so this test is pretty much pointless, but we do that anyway, to show the difference IF title is bottlenecked by GPU at 1920x1080.

We're testing mostly in full HD, because it's actually how it should be done. It's the simple rule: you're not playing at 1024x768 nor 1280x720. You're playing at 1680x1050 and higher. So you need to check CPU performance at 1920x1080 anyway. You can almost always find a place in the game that's CPU dependant, even at 1920x1080 max settings - it's just a matter of time and.. knowledge.

Look at there: http://pclab.pl/art50000-14.html

Pages from 14 to 28 - CPUs at stock settings.
Pages from 51 to 71 - OCed settings.

Battlefield 3, Max Payne 3, Metro 2033. They all say those titles are GPU dependant... Sure they're unless you know how to find a proper place, where CPU testing has actual sense. And most of those review sites out there simply CAN'T find the place, and on the other hand: we CAN

Another example: Far Cry 3 being GPU bottlenecked? That's funny, because it's not. It's CPU limited.




It's a matter of finding a good place - just saying.
