Intel Core i5 750 & i7 870 Review - PAGE 11

Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion pack of the original Crysis. It uses an enhanced  and optimized version of the CryEngine.

Just like in Valve's Left 4 Dead, the processor doesn't really have an effect on performance in Crysis. Each and every processor delivers an excellent gaming experience up to 1650x1080, while the higher resolution is more or less playable depending on your standards.

Bioshock is a creepy first person shooter. It is the oldest of the games in our benchmarking suite, hence the high framerates.

This benchmark favors AMD's Phenom's, which manage to keep both Lynnfield's at bay. Other than that, the i7 870 somewhat justifies its price tag by once again pulling ahead of the i5 750 which also happens to pull ahead of both Core 2's.
