1155 v 1366

[ubercake]

Pit the 1155 v 1366 using GTX 580s non-SLI/two-card SLI and 6970s non-crossfire/crossfire in combination with both chipsets.

CPUs 2600k
i7 960

Don't go with the more expensive 970+ CPU for the 1366, because we should compare CPUs near the same price point.

CPUs should be run at stock speeds. This should not be an article about overclocking/overclockability.

Are chipset deficiencies keeping the performance of the 1155 chipset down?

Is the 1155 "for real" with regard to the enthusiast build?

Is the 1366 chipset superceded by the 1155?

Benchmarks to include fps in BC2, Crysis 2, Hawx 2, Metro 2033, Rift, WOW, StarCraft 2, Unigine Heaven, etc...

All the questions above will be answered.

Great! I'll look for this to maybe happen!

I guess the CPUs could at least be OC'd to the same level too if it would tell a better story regarding the architecture?
