    Finally a cool and quiet gtx 470...

    LOL, nice :D. I wonder what kind of a board and case would fit two of those in SLI.

    Not sure when you last checked the newer benches, let me know how the numbers compare with yours. Edit--Dirt 2 scaled with the i7 at 4 ghz on a 5970 with a 43% higher score than on a 3.9Ghz E8400. BFBC2 scaled with the i7 at 4ghz on a 5970 with a 56% higher score than on a 3.9Ghz E8400...

    Yes this is very true, the E8400 is still a nice chip but to be honest does not have the horsepower needed to sufficiently run many of today's new titles. Enjoy your i7, you probably don't even need to overclock it any higher as the performance boost won't be very significant. Thanks, the case...

    Crossfire question

    From my experience, Crossifre fan controlling will only work on the first PCI-E slot card, the rest of the cards will run on Auto.

    Yes an interesting observation on your behalf, I honestly think it's probably a memory bottleneck or shader bottleneck. Those settings tax the card heavily and I'm not too surprised by the results. Mind you these BFBC2 benches were performed at very intense 32 player maps (Port Valdez) and thus...

    Ya and not just slower, I could feel the choppiness on an E8400 and then when I played with the same fps on a Quad i7, I noticed how smooth everything felt. It was definitely worth it imo.
