Crysis Warhead

Crysis Warhead is one of the most graphics-intensive games today. We tested it to gauge the processor's effect on such graphics-intensive games.

Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

58.6 fps

+ 5.2 %

At the highest resolution of 1920 x 1200, enabling Turbo Boost improved the frame rate by 5 %. That's very impressive since Crysis Warhead is highly graphics-intensive.

+ 0.8 %

At 1600 x 1200, the difference in frame rate was very minimal to non-existent. Curious results, if we may say so ourselves.

 

Low Resolution Results (1280 x 1024)

Processor

Turbo Boost

Core i7-975 Extreme Edition

Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

80.7 fps

80.8 fps

+ 0.1 %

At the lowest resolution of 1280 x 1024 though, the effect was similarly dismal. It is possible that the large 5% boost in performance seen in the 1920 x 1200 results was a fluke (although we retested several times).
