*DISCLAIMER*: 1) This is meant to be a much-needed comic relief thread to the whole ongoing drama of the R520 benchmarks at hardwareanalysis. Nothing said in here should be taken seriously, or as fact. 2) I realize that 3dmark is not exactly the best method to measure a card's performance, but it does allow for the least number of duplicate scores, as well as a good play on numbers.

I'm going to guess that it gets 8888. I'll have to to afford one
Oh, and absolutely no flaming in here--or else i'll hit you with a big wooden hammer
whoever gets closest to the ATi release figures gets a big cookie

On a more positive note...
...any 'betting folk' among you want to hazard a guess on real benchmarks ?
Specifically, if you take a 'fewest bottlenecks' system with an FX-57, 2GB memory etc and an R520XT - what kind of 3DMark05 score are you expecting at default settings ?
If memory serves, these are the approximate scores for the most recent high-end cards:-
6800 Ultra: 5800
X850XT PE: 6300
7800 GTX: 7700
R520XT: ?
