Of course, at 1920 x 1080, neither Sandy Bridge CPU is capable of running Warsow well. This is with the latest Mesa and DRM changes too, which carry various performance fixes as mentioned earlier in the month.

VDrift's frame-rate is only down by about 7%, but it is floating right above 30 FPS at 1920 x 1080.

The Lightsmark performance takes the biggest dive using the Core i3 2100 where its frame-rate is down by nearly 30%.
