is oblivion that cpu limited ?

It can be. I remember Compgeek showing a benchmark of a 3 ghz Conroe ES vs a 3 ghz s939 Opteron some time ago which had the Conroe whipping up on the Opteron in Oblivion and FEAR. It was pretty damn impressive.

Conroe has in fact met expectations.

I see a lot of people complaining about the benches mostly because after seeing the astonishing bench results, the only thing "these people" have to fall back on is "how's it do in REAL world?"... but I guess this thread answers that .
Good to see satisfied users, Intel finally delivers!!!!!!!

One question for OP. were you using the same video card with your AMD system?

Yep!

Nice OC, by the way. How stable is it? Have you run Prime? That Gigabyte motherboard might be one of the few that is stable at this early date.

no disrespect meant i wish i had one of those cpus myself..but a 10 fps difference? seems kinda weak for the price difference...

10 fps in Oblivion at that resolution with those quality settings is huge.
