F.E.A.R is a graphically rich game, which make it more of a graphics benchmark than a system benchmark. For those who don't talk tech, it simply means we're not seeing any differences here, at least nothing noticeable when you're actually playing. The differences likely occur during areas where the processor is 'holding up' the graphics card from reaching its maximum performance - maximum frame rates. We do not see a difference between P965 and P35 here, but then again we also didn't see much difference between the processors (at the same FSB and multiplier) either. The E6300 and E6550 practically offer the same level of performance. Any differences we're seeing is very likely just normal variations between runs.

This table confirms what we saw before. F.E.A.R is more of a graphical benchmark than a system benchmark (with this setup). Although it doesn't add anything to this article, its actually pretty nice to know this fact. Even with very 'light' settings - no AA and AF - F.E.A.R is more graphically bound than system bound. Lets move on now.
