Sites nowadays seem so caught up on benchmarking with games like NFSU2,F.E.A.R., Doom 3, HL2, etc., but often overlook performance in MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and EverQuest II, so I was curious if anyone has links to sites that do test with these games?

Thanks in advance.

I've seen a few (including the Crossfire preview benches here at AT), but generally MMORPGs tend to be less graphically demanding and much more CPU/RAM-limited, which makes them less than ideal candidates for benchmarking. Also, super-high framerates aren't really necessary to play one.

Plus it's tough to get reproducible benches, since the only way to get 'real' gameplay is to play online.

I can tell you've never played EverQuest II then...
