Ever heard of CPU limitation? Your babbling

The 5970 is limited by the CPU, it cannot perform at 100%, even if OCed to the levels of 2 5870 because the CPU is to slow, even an I7 at 4.2ghz. We need 5Ghz Gulftowns really fast.

Don't be unrealistic and a fanboy. If Anandtech is running into CPU limitations now with top end cpu which are not likely going to be eclipsed by anyone that not buying a gulftown, than most people are going to run into cpu limitations anyways which makes these results relevant than imaginary non cpu bound results.

Real performance matters more to the general public than performance imagined by a 6ghz core i7 with liquid nitrogen cooling.

This is more of a limitation of performance limitations of the 300W envelope kicking in.
