guys...whatever you do, don't run 3DMark Vantage with 3DMark11 installed, coz:
Vantage will show corrupt graphics you might think your cards gone bad (in SLI atleast, was OK with ONE card..dunno about Crossfire) and still does so even after uninstalling both apps, and re-installing Vantage. Changing drivers won't help, but a System Restore ! google this and you'll find many threads, one at futuremark, one evga etc etc
Dont go by sythetic performance, go by game performance.
To the contrary...sort of.Preliminarily, seems the generational difference from C2Q to i7 (and Thuban) -and thus either double the threads or 50% more cores- does make a difference, even if higher clocks don't help all that much.
Dont go by sythetic performance, go by game performance.
Limited availabilty before christmas, full launch early 2011
