They should have tested it with Crysis. If it will run Crysis, it will run anything.

But to be serious... how much does this thing cost?!?

Just to give you an idea - my Quad Core 6600 OC'd to 3.2 GHz and 4 GB of PC8000 RAM with aggressive 5-5-5-15 timings is giving my scores in the mid teens....and this is with dual GTX 260s.....

its fast!!! that's for sure, here's mine for comparison, & my rig is quick!!!

E6750 @ 3.5GHZ
8GB ddr2 800 @ 900mhz
XFX GTX260 216
Asus P5K Premium



bear in mind the EVGA rig has its 965 i7 @ 4.8ghz, so that's 8 threads @ 4.8ghz , that's where most of the score is coming from....
