Turbo boost 2.0 (sandy bridge/ivy bridge) has a maximum clock rate that it can reach regardless of the number of active cores so long as their is enough TDP headroom available. However the more cores are active the less TDP headroom tends to be available so it does tend to influence things.
Cool, now I've a better handle on how turbo boost works. Thanks.
@comp, make sure you're testing Internal Resolution rather than Fullscreen Resolution in your graphics options. You should see a performance decrease as you get higher.
