Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition CPU Review
Crysis Warhead
Contents
Crysis Warhead is a DirectX 10 game based on the same engine as the original Crysis, but optimized (it runs under DirectX 9.0c when installed on Windows XP). We ran this game under 1920 x 1200 resolution, setting image quality to “high” and disabling both anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing using the Airfield demo. The results below are the number of frames per second achieved by each processor.
From the results we can definitely see that this game is GPU-bound, meaning that is the video card, not the CPU, that is limiting its performance. Here the Phenom II X6 1100T achieved the same performance level as most of the CPUs included in our comparison. The notable exceptions were against the Core i5-750 (2.66 GHz), Phenom II X4 965 (3.4 GHz), Phenom II X4 970 (3.5 GHz) and Phenom II X6 1090T (3.2 GHz), where the reviewed CPU was 6%, 9%, 9%, and 13% faster, respectively.
