We recently updated our test platform to a 3.8GHz Pentium 670 CPU. This is the fastest single core CPU available in the market. The tests were updated as well; F.E.A.R. is one of the most graphically demanding games on the market today. Utilizing a wide variety of Pixel and Vertex Shaders, FEAR scared the hell out of me the first time I played it. HalfLife 2 was a great game for 2004, but it's now 2006 and time for a change.
