With a gimped up 460GTX... Figured I'd run it even though one of the cards is overheating.

Wow, ours pretty much performed the exact same. Nice.

I need to reinstall 3D Mark 11 and I will post my updated results. It was acting funny, so I removed it. I will show you guys who is boss!

Those two 570s are saaaweet. I'm using my Sager lappy as my main rig atm, but that is going to change soon. I'll have about a $1500-$2000 budget, so I'll look forward to your input.

I could never get 3D Mark 11 to finish the test. Kind of buggy with Nvidia, heck if I know.

Heavy, if you ever get 3D Mark 11 working please let me know.

I got it working. Here are my latest results:

I installed it on my RAID drives this time and I was anticipating better performance. I guess it likes the Raptor drive better.

nice. nice overclock too. I'm being pretty conservative with my overclock for now. 3.0 -> 3.4

Sweet! They fixed the bug.

Huh, would have thought the Dual 570s would beat out the dual 480s by more than that, guess that i7 processor is making a bit of difference.

Why I like my mobo, I just push a button on it and it takes my processor straight from 3.2 to a stable 3.7, no effort on my part.

Ah! I got you by a hair. When I ran it last week I was over 9500... don't really know why it is different now. Nice score with those 480s. But it helps prove my point that a quad core, non-hyper threaded machine can do just as well, if not better when it comes to graphics as they are more GPU dependent.

That 980x still goes for what, $1000? Mine only cost me $200. I would hate to see the comparison for encoding a BluRay rip to a .MKV file... my little i5 would get smashed.

Don't count out those GTX 480s. They are badass cards. There is a reason they still cost more than the GTX 570s... the higher frame buffer. Having 1536 MB vs 1280 MB actually DOES make a difference. The GTX 570s have a bit higher clock speed, and I have mine overclocked as well, but the frame buffer keeps the GTX 480s in the game.
