Results - Crysis and World in Conflict

Onto our gaming benchmarks, where HyperThreading had a slight impact in World in Conflict, though Crysis was unaffected. There was also not much of a boost in frame rates, rather Crysis saw a slight drop for the Core i7, putting it on par with the dual-core E8500. This was despite the fact that Crysis was able to take advantage of 4 or more threads but we didn't see any of that happening. We'll be trying these tests again shortly with a more powerful graphics card than the GeForce 8800 GT we're using here, but we doubt we'll see a lot of difference because the resolutions and settings used are quite tame and shouldn't bottleneck the GPU that soon. Stay Tuned for an update on this.
