AMD Phenom II X4 (Deneb) 940 Launch, Review & Overclocking - PAGE 15
William Henning - Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Crysis

Ah Crysis - eye candy for gamers, tough benchmark for gaming systems. It will still bring pretty much any system to its knees at high resolution with the eye candy turned up.

Once again, we have the usual pattern - significant difference in performance with different processors at 1024x768 low eye candy settings, still significant difference with high settings at the same resultion.

The differences shrink to less than 5 fps between best and worst result at 1280x1024 with eye candy, and TOTALLY dissapear at 1600x1200.

Moral of the story: GPU matters far more than CPU.
