AMD Phenom X4 9750 Quad Core CPU Review

Game Performance: World in Conflict

The World in Conflict in-game benchmark is a great test to show video card performance in real gaming situations. Under the Graphics menu in options, you can choose a variety of video settings and there is a "Run Benchmark" button. The actual benchmark uses all of the game’s graphic capabilities and is a good indication which settings will be optimal for a user’s system. For the tests below resolution was set to 1024x768 and graphics were left at their default values with 8XCSAA for one run and then disabled for another.


Buying a quad core for gaming is still counter-intuative as even the best quads lag far behind their high speed dual core breathren. Making things even worse (for the scope of this review) a Phenom 9750 does not even qualify as one of the best quad cores when it comes to gaming. In WiC’s benchmarking program it did not matter one iota whether AA was enable of not as the Phenom was consistent in posting the worst scores of any CPU tested.
