Sorry for not being around to update in the weekend that was. I was at my ladyfriends' house and now i've got midterms starting tomorrow.

I am going to update the list, because i can do so in less than two minutes. But right now i do not have time to invest into the project of creating a new test to see if memory or cpu is the true performance sink for late game maps. Of course if you would like to do so feel free to create some test yourself

I made two screenshots and the first screenshot had those crazy numbers ?!

I made some other tests with other clock speeds of the CPU:
(Same CPU!)1.8 Ghz:

In a few weeks I will change out this laptop to an MSI Prestige PE70 6QE.
Then I am really curios how the I7 4720HQ can keep up with the I7 6700HQ.
Also I will test with a older PC (DDR2 Ram!)

P.S.: Is there any way to attach multiple screenshots? I have no idea how to upload the second pic, but you can propably imagine how the steam version looks like

You just upload one image, and then upload the second
