http://benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/GTX%20570/P1.html I think this is the first review with GTX 570 TRI SLI. Some interesting results there.

The difference at 2560 X 1600 with 8XAA can be MASSIVE : http://benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/Radeon%205870%202GB/P1.html

http://benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/HD%205870%20Image%20Quality/P1.html Seems like Multi GPU scaling has greatly improved with Catalyst 9.12

Here is another read. Quite detailed and includes multi gpu analysis as well..running on I7 http://benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/I7%20920%20Bottleneck%20Analysis/P1.html

If you have enough CPU horsepower, the cryengine will scale very well with more than two cards...atleast for nvidia. http://www.benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/I7%20920%20Bottleneck%20Analysis/P3.html

Wonder if its me

The graph scaling has nothing to do with the fact that Far Cry 2 is showing more than 15 % improvement. And 15 % is not "uncertainty margin" by any stretch of the imagination. True, that it is Dual channel and ideally you would want to be running tripple channel with I7 and X58 but that takes...

I agree with that. Only the test that were performed with FRAPS can be considered real world. I only had 4 GB of RAM. If I had a set of 6 Gigs of RAM then I would have used that :) Actually I would do a 4 GB vs 6 GB RAM test at the same timings and frequency to see how RAM amount plays...

It is true that RAM frequency is more critical than timings and frequency but that is not the point of the article. The point is to see if RAM and or timings can become the bottleneck in real world scenarios, and if yes then by how much and in what games.

Here is an analysis on DDR3 Gaming with I7 920. Short but might be worth a look :) DDR3 RAM Gaming Analysis

If you do not have an I7 CPU and are looking to buy one and overclock it, I would say it is worth it to search for D0. My batch # 3914A114

I agree with all that. Just like any other engineering specification, for any other engineered product, intel's 67.9 specification has a safety factor built in to it. And yes, Tjunction is usually more that 85 C. The 85 C is a general rule of thumb and is a reasonable number to go by when...

I dont feel comfortable going over 85 deg C. Maybe if I get a socket 1366 water block, :)

I am currently at work. Will let you know when I get home. About 53 degrees above ambient. I am in Houston and it gets pretty hot in my room. With a 30 deg C ambient, I am looking at around 83 C on the hottest core during stress testing.

Hey guys, I recently got my I7 920 D0 and have done a little write up on my experience with overclocking it. Does 4.25 on air with Xigmatek Thor's hammer :) http://www.benchmarkextreme.com/Articles/I7%20920%20Overclocking/P1.html
