Chalk up another title able to show Intel’s platform outperforming AMD’s. Ultimately, though, anti-aliasing is the equalizer at each tested resolution.
Clear and measurable performance gaps separate our Core i5-2400/Z68 and Phenom II X4 980/990FX machines at 1680x1050, 1920x1080, and 2560x1600 without AA turned on. Factor in anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, though, and there’s really little difference at any of those three resolutions.
