CPU Scaling under Jedi Knight 2

Just as we mentioned on the previous page, under Jedi Knight 2 the performance of the majority of these cards is governed primarily by CPU speed. The Radeon 7500 tapers off after about the 1.53GHz mark and the GeForce2 MX 400 is stuck at its 57fps regardless of CPU speed but other than those two the performance scales very linearly. If you're a big Jedi Knight 2 fan you'd be better off with a more powerful CPU than you would be going after a faster graphics card.
