    Someone else with a nVidia system needs to test this to see if something is wrong with yours. Need Quadzilla to visit us.

    about the same as Don's Ultra High run - even with CPU OC to 3.2. No OC on the cards. 186.82 driver (no desire to uninstall and install DOX's just for this). No big deal. Just wanted to add another NV run since you mentioned/requested it Drake.

    Have you guys tried PassMark 7 yet? It looks like it tests your whole system.

    Awesome results, Mandrake. And very nice to get some information about the power of the ATIs. What GPU-clockrates did you use for the different runs?

    PassMark7. This score only put me in second place on NBF, can't have that. Need to tweak it more, maybe later.

    Jesus... Thanks for posting your results. Doing so, you helped me choosing the proper cards for my M17X-order and even saved me some money. Wait some weeks and I´ll try to beat your damn good results.

    I lowered the res on mine and it still went up. Nothing corrected itself. Changing my driver might prove something else.

    Can we move on to the next benchmark? I think we can all agree this one is faulty.

    Don't worry, building shelves on this side. I have time. ;)

    Edit: If I remember correctly SF4 was one of those tests that required changing the exe because of the lack of SLI profile.

    This is fun watching it OC'ed. Each match takes like 5 seconds, lol.

    Edit: Not too much of a difference with the proc OC'ed to 3.28Ghz.
