Game Benchmarks: World In Conflict

Seems I remember a few pages of comments here...

You were probably on the US page...

Hopefully this will silence a few critical voices - Tom's leans towards the i7 because it's a better chip, not because of bias. The proof is there for all to see.

I7-10000xxx0000x0x000 fps PII-2fps. I'm logging out of this DAMN STUPID SITE FOR DAMN EVER!

I love the term 'viable'. So does that mean anything less than $1200 is not viable for gaming?

I know where you are coming from, its just a poor choice of phrase IMO.

It was cool if they do the test with coreI7 an ATI HD4890 to see another diference! some people say core i7 with ATI rules!!!

Me thinks someone is telling porkies. Compare results obtained in this review to ones obtained in a previous one (here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/phen [...] 31562.html ) and the discrepancies are too big to justify easily

That's true...but now I'm curious how I ended up here...

Ah well.

Here's a list of the components in the two pc's:

Just with a quick glance, I can tell the first flaw in the logic of using these two systems to compare gaming performance between the two systems. The AMD system has only x8/x8 Crossfire while the Intel system is running a full bandwidth x16/x16 SLI. The L3 cache/cpu-northbridge is running at 2250mhz when most 955 can run in the 2800mhz range and see improvements from doing so.

this review is not objective!
the cost of dragon system could be cheaper!
it is too much pretension in all review!!!

Yes, yes, and yes.

Why does this review stink? The results seem to be waaaaay off the mark! Come on Toms, do you really think this is the only X4-955BE review ever? And its funny how your results are completely different to everyone else's!

I swear, its almost like one of the HD4890s had been taken out of CrossFire... Hang on a sec... why does the table read 2.2GHz for the GDDR5? That should be 3.9GHz! I think Toms have monkeyed around with the (cack) Cyberpower system! And we all know HD4890

Wow, does the site now have a Criticism Filter like the US site? Most of my post got cut off...

Tom's are Intel's brand fanboy site. Face it. They will always favor Intel. Why are you even bothering to get justice from this site? it's pointless. Unless, of course, you get AMD to pay them more than Intel do so they can increase the results. Ban me, mod me do anything, I will say the truth.

nvidia + Intel = Tom's have full coffers. One of the largest sites (and most trusted among sheep (people) fakes result's in nvidia's favor. That is why AMD once had only 6% of market share!!! I hope that this site gets down very soon so we can restore honor and healthy competition to the market.

And by the way, did you notice that Tom's had the article that explains how to unlock AMD ONLY software called Fusion, an application that is really nice and usable. They EXPLAINED how to hack it. So, they are criminals. I hate you all. Really, I really, really, really do.

LOL, I7 + 2xGTX280 SLI - TWICE AS FAST AS PII 955 + 2xHD4890!

I declare FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

Lol it's like they had vsync turned on in FC2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People, don't read this bull c r x p, this is a site you can trust. It doesn't favor anyone, it just posts the results. And sorry for many posts, I get pissed off when I see this Tom bull c r x ping.
