As title suggest, anandtech have done some clock for clock comparisons whilst OCd instead of just at stock, should be interesting for most

I have spent the better part of the last twenty four hours trying to figure out our FarCry 2 numbers and it also happens in other games by the way. The only conclusion I have right now is that with the latest NV drivers, Win7, and certain games, the Phenom II 965 is faster now.
Not only against Lynnfield but also against Bloomfield in the tests we utilize for the motherboards. The CPU oriented action test we use in the processor benchmarks tells another story. So something is happening along the graphics path at this point, what exactly is something we are trying to isolate.
Interesting, I sort of wish they would have thrown in a Yorkfield at 3.8GHz as well...I understand it's not a new chip but it would put the numbers into better perspective for prospective buyers IMO.
Article has now been updated.....the AMD and GTX 275 performance is downright stunning

How very embarrassing.
AMD CPU + it's competitors GPU works better than with its own. More to the point it works unbelievably better than all the rest.
Wow, impressive. It's interesting that AM3 with AMD gfx is not so hot but AM3 with nV beats the I5/I7 with nV. Unless this is a glitch somewhere then AM3 seems the best current platform for single GPU gaming (as long as you get an nV).
It doesn't work better it's just the GTX275 is faster in that game at those particular settings.
The reason the Intel's lag behind is because they're still at stock settings are CPU limited, that's why on the Intel systems the GTX 275 isn't showing any significant gains compared to 4890.
At stock yes, Phenom @3.4ghz is 7fps faster than i7 [email protected].
And I wonder how well AM2 or S775 would run on those tests with a GTX 275?

Why didn't they do the game tests with all CPU's at 3.8ghz I thought that was the point of the article?
What gives you the impression they reset everything to stock for the game benchies? as far as I can tell these were run at 3.8 too, I think it doesnt specify on the graph purely because of lack of space, but Id be very suprised if they werent run at 3.8 seen as as you say its the point of the article
bit of a late reply, lol
Techreport have since done some tests comparing platforms with gpu for in game performance, as can be seen from the chart below, at low res (cpu dependant situation) intel wins, however at higher res (gpu dependant situation) AMD and old 775 outperform new i5/i7, seen as how most people use a res around 1920x1200 this is more sgnificant
