Reason I asked is because I tested the Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 4 benchmark tools last night and got some rather peculiar results. I maxed DMC4 out @ a resolution of 1920 x 1080 with 2xAA and was awarded a C grade claiming my cpu and graphic card are not up to scratch. Thing is though, not once did the frame rate drop below 30 and it seemed to average somewhere between the 38-45 fps mark.
Resident Evil 4 fared even worse. I was given a D grade and an average frame rate of just under 30 but unless my eyes are playing tricks on me the demo ran flawlessly throughout. Absolutely nowhere did I notice any stuttering.
Incidentally I'm running them on an E series Vaio (Intel i5 M430 2.27 ghz/4gb DDR3 1066/Radeon HD 5650).
Are benchmarks simply designed to trash the **** out of my laptop or do the retail versions of games tend to be less intensive?
