If he was really trying trying to brag, he'd be talking about an i7-990x running at 6+GHz with triple-SLI GTX580. The GTX570 and i7-2600k aren't top-of-the-line, ya know! :P

Well, when I enabled SLI, it took maybe a day or two to get a right feel for it. I didnt notice any real additional increase in input latency or micro stuttering, to be honest I am kind of a noob with a lot of these settings :( Vsync I have off with the triple buffering too, well I don't exactly understand what they do. I have the maximum pre loaded frames set to 3 which was default. Do you suggest I change it? As far as your last question yeah there is a lot of stuttering when characters load in Uldah for about 4 seconds and then it goes away. I dont quite notice it on the road. I did get it to 5GHZ :P the minute I started to run prime95 my cores jumped up to about 90 instantly, which makes me think that I need to re apply my paste cause I do have a really good cooler and it should be a bit cooler at that point I think. However it might have to wait for me to move it into the basement because my ambient temperature is really high. At 4.8 things hover at about 80 under 100% load, but then again how often am I under 100% load... almost never. I never really break 30% during regular use for the most part I dont think. I could test some stuff for you when game comes back up because I would like to learn more about those features you mentioned.
All together with case, 22 inch Samsung screen, extra cooler, keyboard mouse and so on for about 1400 USD.
I had a nvidia GFX card before but i get better score with the ATI.
I made another rig for my GF, a bit cheaper, no SSD, normal DDR3 RAM version (Geil) and the new AMD series CPU.
The AMD CPU dragged down the score by a lot...
Exactly.... Me and my LS mates love talking about FFXIV and our Rigs, and we talk a lot about how our rigs run FFXIV. My buddy is having an issue with his 5870, so I was hoping to get a few replies of that so I could help him out. We really do love talking about or rigs... my friend has 3 5870's setup, he is selling them for a 6990. I might try and tell him to wait for the GTX 590
I dont see how you have the same score... can you post screens please. And what is this 8 core intel chip you have? is the 990X not only 6cores? I dont know much about the Xeon but I doubt you have those... and I dont even know what a radeon 5800 is . Lol its posts like this I was talking about in my orignal post lol...
