Is there anyone that can get a 7.9 legitimately yet?
I'm assuming you would need dual Xeon 5500s, SLI overclocked 285s, and X25-Es in RAID 0.
You can get close but no 200 series card will get you there, will require the 300 series at least,( I'm expecting the DX11 GDDR5 cards to make it, An I7 with a 4.2 or better OC, and raid 0 ssd's , this is with 2 295+'s in Quad SLI's. I could probably boost my scores a bit, but would still be limited by graphics. My graphics score should go up when new drivers come out that mesure multiple cards, but still wont hit the majic mark. So I'll wait untill the next series to try. My ssd's would require a firmware update, which would mean a hard drive wipe, and with my other limatations I'll wait on that as well. I have seen people with 7.9's in every catagory but graphics.
I think that ATi's 5000 series is worthy of an 8

My point is you will get the same 6.4 even if you add a second 4850, WEI only evaluates the first GPU, You will still get the bennifits in games or other video with SLI, or crossfire, it just wont show in WEI evaluations.
