System Builder Marathon: Overclocking

Frankly, Crysis didn't care about our CPU overclock all that much, with or without antialiasing applied. You can see a small performance increase at the lowest resolution without AA, but that's it. Most games are graphics-limited, not CPU-limited, so without a successful video card overclock the rest of the game benchmarks are likely going to look the same.
Prey sees a notable bump from the CPU increase when no antialiasing is used, but the real-world impact is negligible considering all of the framerates are very high for this system.
