Gaming Tests

And finally some gaming benchmarks, the favorite review page for all gamers. Five popular titles are chosen to represent every game genre. Crysis and Modern Warfare for FPS gamers, Resident Evil 5 for adventure gamers, GTR Evolution and DiRT 2 for races and Dawn of War 2 for those who like to play RTS genre games.

In-game quality details for all resolutions are set to following:

• Crysis v1.2 in-game benchmark: DX10, medium details preset
• Modern Warfare II: high details
• Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II: high details preset
• DiRT2: DX11, medium details preset
• GTR Race ON: maximum details, Level 1 AA
• Resident Evil 5 benchmark - DX10, medium details

If much faster Phenom II 1090T could not be considered the best gaming CPU choice, the same stands for 1055T as well. In fact, Phenom II X6 1055 in some games even disappoints with very average performance. It's not that it can't run games at fast frame rates, it's just that Core i5 750 does it much better for the same amount of money. If you're a gamer, and want to save as much money you can and still get great performance - Core i5 750 is still the way to go.
