AMD Phenom II X6 1100T BE Review
Far Cry 2, Resident Evil 5 & Aliens vs Predator
Published: 7th December 2010 | Source: AMD | Price: ~£230 |
Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 is based on a rather demanding engine and also has a fair level of GPU dependancy at higher resolutions. Many of today's graphics cards can play this game to a reasonable standard however it remains to be an excellent benchmark.
Far Cry 2 indicates near even performance across the board, with no real outliers.
Resident Evil 5
RE5 is the latest 3rd party shooter of the collection, released in 2009. Will the Resident Evil performance title be held by Intel or AMD this time round?
Once again we have a very strong tie.
Aliens vs Predator
This game is a very recent hit that utilises many Direct X 11 features, including Tesselation. What a perfect way to stretch our Radeon HD 5870's legs.
Aliens vs Predator by comparison is much more demanding than Resident Evil 5, with minimum framerates dropping towards 30 on all test configurations. We end our benchmark suite with another tie.

Like the review mate, shame really that the AMD offering is still trumped by the 950.
im probably misinformed.

For most newer games even an i3 540 will do the job perfectly fine. It's the GPU that counts most in games. Talking applications that really take advantages of a great CPU, well you have a different story there.
