Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 965

F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is also said to support multiple threads, but our performance numbers suggest otherwise in CPU limited situations on the faster Athlon 64 processors. However, the performance of the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 is notably higher than the performance of the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz. The proceedings are dominated by AMD's processors, with all six Intel processors routed to the bottom of the table.

The group bunches together when the game starts to become GPU limited at higher resolutions with the three Athlon 64 FX processors returning an average of 64 frames per second. The Pentium Extreme Edition 965 performed the same as its older brother, along with the majority of the other processors tested here with an average of 63 fps.
