did not like Dota2 games engine, even watching replays has lag.
I would by no means call Planetside 2's graphics dated - the game came out at the end of 2012. It's pretty high up there and as demonstrated by your benchmarks, puts a lot of systems to their knees. A very fast CPU is also pretty essential as when you get into 100v100 battles having a slow CPU will make the game unplayable, and the CPU seems to be the biggest factor in overall performance of the game.
For the sake of information World of tanks is more CPU based than GPU also WoT is limited to use only 1 CPU core (no multicore support) and max of 2 GB ram so a GPU only benchmark for WoT is useless
While WOT is very taxing on CPU, GPU is hugely important. Just read anywhere on wot forums for people and FPS, or you could simply look at the benchmarks provided here.For the sake of information World of tanks is more CPU based than GPU

For all the guys finding this hard to believe, this was a GPU test (there I said it).

When testing WoT appeared to use more than a single core, I will look into this shortly. As for your comment about a GPU only benchmark being useless, well that’s utter nonsense for two obvious reasons. First of all if it were useless then why did we see such a massive performance difference between the R7 260X and the GTX 750 Ti or even the R9 270 for example? Kind of seems like more relevant than useless information to me.
FINALLY one last point I would like to make and I really can’t stress this enough, picking the right GPU for gaming opposed to the right CPU is significantly more difficult. I have been putting together these gaming benchmarks for over 5 years now and in recent times if there is one thing I have noticed it’s that the results are almost always the same. BUY and i5!
99% of the time the AMD processors get smoked and the Core i5 delivers the exact same performance as the Core i7 and it’s been that way since the Nehalem microarchitecture was released. So for all you confused readers wanting to know what CPU to buy for gaming we suggest the Core i5-4670K if you plan to overclock for $240 or the Core i5-4670 for $220 if you don’t.
For those on a tighter budget the Core i3 range always seems to do well in our game tests so seek out the Core i3-4340 for $160 or the Core i3-4130 for $125. We are not Intel bias, this is simply the truth.

I agree having looked closer at WoT CPU utilization the engine is not taking advantage of quad-core processors. Still we proved that those with high-end systems shouldn’t have an issue playing WoT, the GTX 780 rendered an average of 106fps at 1920x1200.
The Core i7-4770K only saw about 50-60% utilization on the first core and about 20-30% on the second. So this processor is obviously overkill for this game.
The only way gamers with high-end GPU’s will run into trouble when playing WoT is with an AMD processor. It’s no secret that AMD’s core efficiency with their latest processors is poor. So with an FX-8350 for example the GTX 780 will likely be much slower though we suspect it would still provide playable performance.

sorry for the misunderstanding ... not trying to offend you here
by useless I actually trying to offend WoT itself xD
it needs a special Benchmark I play the game since ages the CPU bottleneck and hardware support has huge impact on performance..
WoT forums are full with people topics (why I got low FPS on high end PC)
my point is the game engine is crazy people with mid/low end laptops getting higher FPS than a xxxx$ gaming PCs and high end GPUs like the ones in this benchmark
