ahhhhh i see what you mean.

Well, you cant really cross compare blocks like this.

You would need a ione thats not glass beaded vs one that is to get definite results.

You cant tell if the DD block is better because of the less restriction and more passes, or because of the glass beeding otherwise.

Or maybe the piece of copper they got was just overall better. You see what i mean?


And yea i wish i could get some results down too, however my 8800GT is non REFERENCE!
