    it's a bit weird, yet accurate
    at least in my case

    Mass Effect Universe Fan, I support Mass Effect 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for Game of the year award! ME2 still is being the best rated game this year! Keep it up

    Ah thank you for this! I'm so glad I waited so now I can purchase a gtx 460 for my SLI mobo.

    Also, CPUs:

    now with that CPU graphs I wouldn't be soo sure as I can clearly achive alot more with a similar i7-860 and a 5870
    I get 128FPS constant, during huge battles it drops to 97FPS @1920x1200
    and my CPU was clocked at 3.66GHz when I was testing CPU frequency

    A 2.66 Ghz i7 performs better than a 3.6Ghz E6600? Did they optimize StarCraft 2 for four cores now?

    -- Nevermind. I see the second one is a Q6600. I guess the i5/i7's are just that much better of an architecture

    I wonder how all this would run with horizontal cameras in game, and in-game cinematics (not pre-rendered, I mean).

    FPS drop alot, in my case it's about from 20 to 30 FPS lower during huge battles (if you ask about horizontal cameras in game)

    Man. Waiting 3 more years for a new rig it is then. It's awesome that you had this checked out. Been dying to know for some time now.

    Thanks, Spychi.
