Benchmark Results: At lower image quality settings the Intel Pentium G3258 starts to become the system bottle neck. The G3258 averaged just over 46 frames per second at both 1920×1080 and 1280×1024. The Intel Core i7 4770K was nearly double that at 1920×1080 with an average of 81.8 frames per second and more than double at 1280×1024 with an average of 103.23 frames per second.
