R520 scores 10K+ in 3Dmark05

[Afterburner]

For 10k in 05, 16 Pipe 6800GTs in SLI can do that at 400 Core...which means 16x2x400 = 12,800 Theoretical Fill Rate...which 24 Pipes can match with a Core of a mere 534 Mhz. (24x533 = 12,816 Theoretical Fill Rate) . So yes, 24 Pipes should own sli quite easily...except when high resolution FSAA comes into play, that's when the 24 pipes will not be able to keep up with 2x X850XTPE/6800Ultra in performance.

Wats ur gut feeling bout the speculated 700mhz core speed of 'Fudo'. Since u said 534mhz @ 24 pipes is sufficient........wat havock would (if true) 700mhz reak and also the fairy-tale 32 pipes........
