Hmmm. Unimpressive 3D-Mark scores. I get 12k+ with my 8800 GTS and E8400 (minor overclock on card), considering their processor would contribute a lot to their score, it shows that the VGA card itself is not doing much extra. But 3dmark06 is outdated IMO. It doesnt bench direct x 10 performance if i'm right, and that's the whole purpose of these new cards.
