Gaming Operation

To kick outset the gaming phase of this article nosotros take Unreal Tournament. The Core i5 750 dominates the charts with 224fps at 1024x768 and 189fps at 1920x1200. Next best was the Phenom Two X4 965 with 179fps at 1920x1200, making it roughly 5% slower. The performance then drops farther going to the lower clocked Phenom 2 X4 processor, the 925, to 162fps at 1920x1200.

The Phenom II X3 720 delivers roughly the same result with an average of 161fps, making information technology slightly faster than the Core i5 650. The Cadre i3 540 matches the Athlon II X4 635 at 1920x1200, making both processors just a unmarried frame faster than the Core two Quad Q9500. Surprisingly the Phenom II X2 555 beats not only the Core 2 Duo E8500 merely also the Cadre 2 Quad Q8400.

When testing with Street Fighter IV nosotros found that the Radeon HD 5850 created a clogging, specially when testing at 1920x1200. The Cadre i5 750 easily defeated the Phenom Ii X4 965 at 1024x768, though with the GPU clogging the 1920x1200 functioning was much the same on the bulk of processors tested. Overall the 1024x768 results provided similar performance trends to those seen on Unreal Tournament 3.

When testing with Far Weep ii we were unable to reach the limits of the Radeon Hard disk 5850, though the Core i5 750 did set the benchmark with 81.3fps at 1920x1200.

The Phenom II X4 965 was the side by side fastest at this resolution with 75.1fps, followed by its slower role the 925 with 70.3fps. Afterward that most of the processors rendered between 65–70fps. The Phenom Ii X3 720 and Cadre 2 Quad Q9400 both averaged 69fps, while the Core two Quad Q8400 and Cadre 2 Duo E8500 averaged 67fps.
