System Builder Marathon, March 2011: $1000 Enthusiast PC

Benchmark Results: Just Cause 2 And F1 2010

Keep in mind that September’s Core i5-750-based system is not included in this newer benchmark. It’s interesting that, at medium details, this game performs better on the current system up to 1920x1080, but at 2560x1600 and at high details with 8x AA, the dual GeForce GTX 460s from December's Core i3-based configuration rule the roost.

This final game benchmark is also missing September’s Core i5-750 system. The game demonstrates a notable CPU bottleneck, with the current Core i5-2500K besting the Core i3-550, despite its dual graphics card muscle.
