How are we supposed to compare those results??? The CPU needs to be the same on both rigs to give us a reasonable apple-to-apples comparison

I'm a little confused about that too. Given that the rest of the two systems are the same, right down to PSU, I'm assuming that this is the same PC with different graphics cards used - in which case, why change the CPU and stuff up the results?

maybe the TS just want to share with us the perform 5870 with his RIG...
Yea, well if he want´s to show as the performance of a 5870 he must do it with the same CPU, Mobo, memory. Theres a big difference between a E2160 and E8400...

well, i have backup, same setting except CPU, Q66 @ 3.8 GH.
anyway still BIG difference between e84 @ 4GH and Q66 @ 3.8 GH ?
Well Gaul I think if you want to show as the performance of the 5870 you gotta use the same hardware (mobo, mem, cpu). The performance of the Q6600 and E8400 are very similar, but some people can say that is not a just comparison....

It amases me each time again that this is still being called a comparison... data is soooooo off... and then it's being called a personal review which makes it more valid ? C'mon...
