![]() The E6300 continues to provide a great value but isn't nearly as impressive as the rest of the Core 2 line. But the real issue for AMD is the fact that the E6600 priced at $316, is able to outperform the FX-62 at over twice the price. With a couple of speed bumps, AMD could equal Intel's gaming performance here. Half Life 2: Episode 1 provided us with numbers closer to what we saw with Quake 4, the performance advantage here is just over 12% for the X6800 over the FX-62. As with all of our gaming tests in this article we tested at 1600 x 1200: Next up we've got the recently released Half Life 2: Episode 1, running at default quality settings (auto detected with a pair of X1900 XTs installed) with the exception of AA and aniso being disabled. The Core 2 Extreme X6800 now attains a 19% performance lead over the FX-62, and the E6600 manages a 10.9% advantage itself. Looking at Battlefield 2 performance, Intel begins to improve its gaming performance lead as we are becoming more CPU bound: Regardless, it is a performance advantage and far better than the older days of NetBurst chips where Intel's best could barely keep up with AMD. ![]() The Core 2 Extreme X6800 is just over 11% faster than the Athlon 64 FX-62, mainly because we're looking at it in a more GPU bound light than we have in the past. The performance advantage in Quake 4 starts off high, but not astronomical for the Core 2 processors. We used version 1.2 of Quake 4 and SMP was enabled: Our gaming performance analysis starts out with Quake 4 running at 1600 x 1200 with High Quality visual settings. His hooked set shot proved to be the end of Adelaide's resistance, with Ricky Henderson slotting shortly after and Shaun Burgoyne sealing the game with three minutes to go.Gaming Performance using Quake 4, Battlefield 2 & Half Life 2 Episode 1 LoadingĪ flying Paul Puopolo gave the Hawks a bit more breathing room and Tom Lynch missed a perfect opportunity to get the Crows back within a point one minute later. ![]() Mitchell had a chance to answer right back from a set shot, but could only level things up at 74, with a behind rushed at the last second by Daniel Talia, and a controversial video review robbing Will Langford of his brace. Tom Mitchell was particularly influential and kicked an early major to the Hawks back into the lead, but Andy Otten quickly cancelled it out with one of his own. The regained lead proved to be a false dawn, as the Hawks kept on rolling in the final stanza. The Hawks kept Adelaide goalless for almost the entire period, hitting the lead when 20-year-old Ryan Burton slotted back-to-back goals with the quarter coming to a close.īut the Crows snatched the lead back with seconds remaining in the term, when basketball convert Hugh Greenwood booted his second of the night off one step from 45 metres out. It appeared the table-toppers had resumed normal programming in the second term as they closed out the term with two goals to Josh Jenkins and one for Taylor Walker, but the momentum of an 18-point lead at the long break did not carry through long break. The early exchanges gave us a sense of the game to come, with both teams scoring 4.2 to end the first term level on 26. On Thursday night, the Hawks produced a vintage effort to take down the ladder-leading Crows 14.12 (96) to 12.10 (82). The last time the Hawks travelled to Adelaide Oval, three weeks ago, they scored a record-low three points in the first half as Port ran home. Second-last Hawthorn has stunned the ladder-leading Crows, winning by 13 points thanks to a powerful finish.
