The game tests were performed under such circumstances so that the CPU would be the only bottleneck. Had they made the graphics card the bottleneck, all the systems would have given more or less the same result. Of course, when actually playing, a gamer would use different settings, but, like this, we found out what is the maximum we can get from a certain CPU. For example, you won't get more than 39fps average with E1200, no matter what graphics card or settings, but E2160 would give you up to 49, and with E6750 you could get up to 91fps average. That's why a powerful graphics card and low resolution were chosen for those tests.
