CPUs & Real-World Gameplay Scaling

@ 2006/03/21
What do different video cards and CPUs mean to gamers in World of Warcraft, F.E.A.R., Battlefield 2, and Call of Duty 2? We played all the games with 6 different CPUs and 4 different video cards to find out the difference in real-world gameplay

I wish they had compared AMD chips at the same PR rating with the different cache sizes

The graphs look intrestingly different for CoD 2 and BF2.

of course I emailed it

WoW, they are the same

For our died-in-the-wool gamers that are spending a few hundred dollars or more on your high end video cards, make sure your AMD Athlon 64 processors are at least 2.4GHz in processor speed, and your Intel processors clock in at least at the 3.2GHz mark.
