| If you like the raw data represented as easy to understand charts... well, here they are: Foxconn C51XE M2aa Nforce 590 SLI motherboard Sapphire AM2RD580 with SB600 board for Crossfire Athlon FX 62 2800 MHz 90 nanometre Windsor core 2x1024 MB DDR2 Corsair CM2X1024-6400C3 memory Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 500GB SATA NCQ hard drive Thermaltake Mini Typhoon Athlon 64/X2/FX cooler and Intel CPU's OCZ 700W GameXstream power supply all credits go the TheInquirer team! Check the full review for pictures of the cards, more benchmarks and information. Below you find the game results graphed: gaming at 1600x1200 is now very possible; add them in SLI and you can run 2048x1536 without an issue, even when turning on "some" IQ settings. It seems Oblivion is really a game that needs a good CPU to work at it's best, just look at those below <40FPS even at 1024x768... the G80 doesn't make all games CPU dependent though, as usual, when you enable AA/AF the performance drops, but overall FPS remain quite high, only when you push it really really far (16xAA ... insanely high) the performance drops to below playable FPS at highest resolutions. the G80 is the current king of the VGA cards, now we need games which reduce its performance to mere "good", did anybody say CRYSIS? |

| wtf, why test such a card with an AMD system, they should've tested those cards with a conroe system, so the cpu won't be that much of a limitting factor... |

| I only partially agree with you; sure the AMD system is slower than Core 2 Duo; but then again, it's plenty fast as you can see, the only game really suffering from the slower CPU seems to be Oblivion, where the FPS is low due to CPU, not GPU. All other games have FPS well ABOVE playable values.
