@JackNaylorPE Guru3D is using Core i7 965 Extreme @ 3750 MHz. Maybe there is extra CPU overhead with the AMD cards that's causing a platform bottleneck and not lettings the cards stretch their legs.

What happened to the $500 SBM build?

Just bought a second 4870 1 GB to complete my CF setup which was planned 1.5 years ago. Only $130 from Newegg. 4870 vs 450 is not a tough choice if you are buying for a dedicated gaming rig. The 4000 series are still very adequate.

The multilayer doesn't look too great, game play looks decent.

The camera man said: "This is how the sysadmin day passed" Didn't expect this to be so funny, thanks!

With those cuts, I'm probably never going to get a quad core for my LGA 775.

Great article! I really like it when things don't go as perfect as possible because I learn from it. Experimental builds is what makes me want to read, if you were to do another CF 5850 + whatever it would be safe, but not interesting. Props to taking the unpaved road. Thanks!

Wouldn't building them in 3D cause heat issues, or are they expecting the 20nm fab to be that cool...

Grammar police ENGAGE! Should be "understand", if present tense, otherwise get rid of the can. :-P I kinda like the acquisition to be honest, it has potential.

tuannguyenDo you want this or not? Yes or no? Tom's does a good job afaik, it's not necessary, no, I don't want it.

Thank you!
