Bottom line was at least in my tests 8.9 was faster. But this may not have been the greatest benchmark to use as there is a lot of action and the AI isn't consistent with each run-through.
 
Ok, where do I get the Warhead benchmark tool?

I just installed my Diamond Oc'd 4870x2 and played Warhead. The screen locked up a few times and finally the computer rebooted.

RATS!
 
Tried that custom config. Runs great when it runs...but I'm getting a lot more crashes on checkpoint loads. Although, I was getting them before this anyway.
