[citation][nom]jurassic512[/nom]I have to say i'm pleased and disappointed by this review.pros:with what hardware they did test, it did give good resultscons:where is the 2600K with HT? 6 core CPU's? are we just assuming no game can use more than 4 threads now?That would be silly. I don't know if you had an intel or AMD 4 core beats on hand, but that is what i'd like to see. Even some memory tests. It's more work, but it would be worth it. I'm fond of lengthy reviews though. I would read 20+ reviews on cdrinfo for optical drives because its fun and enjoyable. I don't think there is any such thing as a review/roundup/test/comparison that is too long. Keep it up Tom's... I'm not going anywhere regardless. You've earned your spot on my bookmark bar long ago![/citation]
Thanks for the feedback Jurassic!
The game's been out a long time, and we have to assume that most people have either made the call to buy it or skip it. With that said, we still wanted to test the effects of these new patches using a sampling of hardware. That means picking and choosing a range (rather than trying to test every single component a reader might have).
With that in mind, it's safe to assume that your -2600K will have far less impact on the final results than whatever graphics subsystem you're using.
Hope the data we did present was still useful to you!
Best,
Chris
