This won't impress any of you LN2 boys, but I thought I'd post the first couple runs I made with two EVGA GTX 580s as a comparison to other GPUs out there. The system is my email rig, with i7 950 CPU and 6 GBs of RAM. It's loaded with software and a Norton Internet security (not disabled) along with two printers and a scanner. No tweaks, I just ran the benchmark. Everything is air cooled at ambient temperature. I bumped the CPU up to 4404 MHZ and ran 3DMark vantage twice. First time with CPU (NO) physX, second time with GPU physX. This is like the average Joe run with his everyday use system popping the cards in and running them.

LOL Sweet Jeebus, your desktop PC is a monster!

Im glad you guys are not building laptops my 920 would cry

Hard to compare when you had PhysX enabled... Ahh...I see now, one with and one without.

A little bump up. Still on the daily rig loaded with BS software. This pretty much smokes my two HD4870s.
Not sure what happened to my GPUZ...looks like part of it got wiped out.

Here is a 3DMark 06 run with 2X GTX 580s on my i7 950 air cooled email rig. Once again it's not impressive but it gives an idea of what to expect on average Joe's gaming machine if you fork out the $ for a couple of these cards.
