basically once the resolution and settings are cranked up it pretty much all becomes gpu limited... at very low resolutions or settings with very high frame rates.. a faster cpu will give you even higher frame rates.. pretty much wasted at whatever low resolution or settings are being run.. 100 fps may turn into 105 fps or 150 fps may turn into 160 fps..all meaningless because none of it will effect game play in the slightest..
but load the gpu enough to slow the frame rates down as most gamers will do and its all gpu limited.. at 40 fps no cpu octo core or not will help much.. only a faster gpu will help..
my own tests should have proven this.. witcher is gpu heavy and cpu light.. i got similar frame rates running my cpu at a very slow 2 gigs as i do at 4.5 gig.. witcher fully maxed out at 1440 is pretty much all gpu..
just Cause 3 on the other hand showed a huge difference at 2 gig.. JC3 is very cpu heavy.. but even at a low 2 gig i was still seeing an average of 80 fps.. still very playable.. but a big drop from the average of 120 i see at 4.5 gig..
if i dont have a frame rate counter running running 1440 i cant see any difference between running my cpu at 2 gig or at 4.5 gig.. the three games i have tried at 2 gig all played fluidly.. witcher.. mad max.. Just cause 3..
i could try few more but i would expect the same result.. all my games would still be very playable with my cpu clocked at 2 gigs..
i reach my own conclusions.. that is enough for me..
