The scene does not change passing to other game titles, and the Core 2 Duo chips hold the best absolute performance in every situation. Increasing the resolution with AA and AF still enabled, the margin of difference between several processors increases. This is most evident at 1600x1200; in this case, though, the main bottle neck on the frame rate is not because of the processor but the video card itself.

The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is the highest performing socket AM2 chip. The performance difference between the AMD processors, however, is mostly very slight, especially in the last two tests, and can be considered negligible.
