Just how much difference does your CPU speed make in real-world gameplay? Are today’s games CPU-limited or GPU-limited? What impact does different CPU and GPU combinations have on your overall level of gaming quality?
Video cards used:
BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC 512MB – The BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC 512MB operates at a core clock of 580 MHz and a memory clock of 1.75 GHz. This video card is based on the NVIDIA G70 (7800 GTX) GPU using 512MB of GDDR3.

BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB – You can read our evaluation of the BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB video card here. The BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB video card operates at a core clock of 460 MHz and a memory clock of 1.3 GHz. The video card is based on the NVIDIA G70 (7800 GTX) GPU using 256MB of GDDR3.

BFGTech GeForce 7800 GT OC 256MB – You can read our evaluation of the BFGTech GeForce 7800 GT OC 256MB video card here. The BFGTech GeForce 7800 GT OC 256MB video card operates at a core clock of 425 MHz and a memory clock of 1.05 GHz. The video card is based on the NVIDIA G70 (7800 GT) GPU using 256MB of GDDR3.

BFGTech GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB – You can read our evaluation of the BFGTech GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB video card here. The BFGTech GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB video card operates at a core clock of 525 MHz and a memory clock of 1.05 GHz. The video card is based on the NVIDIA NV43 (6600 GT) GPU using 128MB of GDDR3.

All video cards are PCI-Express. We are using the absolute latest driver on NZone at the time of testing which is ForceWare 82.12 which supports dual core CPUs.
Platform Setup:
We are using two different motherboards and six CPUs total. Three AMD CPUs on the nForce4 platform and three Intel CPUs on the i975 XBX platform.

We will scale Pentium 4 Prescott at 2.8GHz single core to Pentium 4 Dual Core at 3.2GHz to the high-end Pentium Extreme Edition 3.4GHz dual core with 1066 MHz FSB. We will also scale AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ at 2GHz and 4800+ at 2.4GHz dual core up to the high-end FX-60 at 2.6GHz dual core. All RAM timings are as tight as we could make them; systems are formatted with a clean install of OS and games.
