my friend works in IT although mainly network orientated, I was talking to him yesterday we were discussing how big cards are getting and he was saying that in the future he expects the motherboard to become obsolete...

Thanks for the pics Gorman.

Got any suggestions on which Bench marks to use?

Thanks.

(Edit, bit disappointed with FFXIV Official Benchmark, gave me 4000 score on high (Was expecting 6k~). while people with lower machines are getting higher scores, but there have been complaints the benchmark is buggy/faulty)

Also got my 8800GTX lying about somewhere, I remember seeing that for the first time, it was frigging huge!

Benchmark using Vantage.

FF benchmark means very little, especially when comparing to other systems that may have different hardware and or been overclocked.

Downloading / Installing Vantage now. Will post results ASAP - Have yet to play any games yet as i'm still transferring all my old files (Music, Photos etc) from my filehost.

Gonna check out what Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 look like asap :)!

the extreme audio card gets bad reviews. It's not really an X-fire but basically a creative audigy card

I have the X-Fi Extreme Gamer for over 1yr now and more than happy with it from watching movies, gaming and music - and hooked up to a T7700 Inspire 7.1 Speaker setup - presently just around the monitor not room hooked up but still awesome sound :D

when you first set it off you can choose between Extreme, High, Performance etc. The X score you posted is Extreme, we need it in Performance which will give a P score to compare =]

Oooo, Ok, I'll start it again and post a performance score - Is that what I should be judging it by against other peoples?

p.s. Thanks for the help!

Im afraid you wont be able to without taking out the wireless card or sound card. SLI 480's? That would be pretty brutal.

Yeah, I was looking at the room and figured as much, I can take the wireless out I think. Do you think heat would be a problem?

Thanks.

P. S. Any other suggestions for sli 480s?

You quite simply dont need SLI'd 480s dude, not unless you live in alaska and dont want to pay for heating :)
