OK inna nutshell.... besides the Gigabyte offereing , taking that out of the equation...what does SB really deliver in terms of performance gains with gaming..

is it in competition with the x58 platform enough to reconsider changeing over?? ( obviously we are seeing some pretty impressive resluts with the OC) but in the end..does it give x58 or surpass x58 in overall performance.

there seems to be so much hype for and against from review sights to forums... even to the point im seeing the 980x being closed in on at stock settings...

Please someone, shed some light on the subject, and help a confused old soul LOL
