Intel i7 870 Performance Test
16xS
I decided to include these benchmarks for a bit of fun, and also because some of you have questioned whether I’m CPU limited in the older games I test.
Based on these results, the GTX480 can be made to completely bottleneck even 11 year old games like Unreal Tournament 99 and Quake 3. The scores are quite playable for such twitch shooters of yester-year.
Those i7s are nice, intel did good with its last cpus (or maybe amd just disappointed abit?). I used to always recammend people buy amd for value, but with the i3/i5 s intel has pretty darn good value.
Athlon II 640 or i3 530? same differnce.
