In otherwords, GTX480 is overkill with the current "affordable" 6 core chips and unless you are using a 2560x1600 display or a huge LCD for entertainment ANG massive gaming, then again, its OVERKILL. Still im shocked that even after reaching 4.0ghz the Thuban couldnt come close to the June build which I also thought was good but a bit too much.
Which games make use of at least 3 to 4 cores? This would have also been a good bench, does dirt or aliens vs predator? Metro 2033? It would be interestring to see if 3ds max would be any different as well and comparing this setup with a studio workstation with firepro's and quadros.

Nope, I don't think the results are saying that. The 480's are performing much worse than the 470 because of the cpu/platform. You would see the same results with the gtx 460's as one member who has a thread going in the forums right now is.
There are always compromises, is gaming the MAIN focus of the rig, or encoding blu rays ?
