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.

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.

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

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).
