The high-end Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad, along with the AMD Phenom X4 processors, are able to push the Radeon HD 4870 X2 to the limit in Devil May Cry 4 without requiring any overclocking. It is interesting to note that while the flagship processors from these series rendered well over 240fps on average, the 3.46GHz overclocked Athlon64 X2 6400+ managed just 169fps. The Core 2 Quad Q9650 was the fastest test CPU using its default settings, followed by the Phenom X4 9950, and then the Q6600.
