and the next yard stick is the 40K barrier in 01SE,
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8410922 but some people reach it easier than others...
interestingly the top 50 3dmark2001 scores are all X800/X850s. and the previous generation 9800XTs arnt that far behind. also not a single intel
CPU in the top list. goes to show for 3dmark 01 at least, the Athlon 64 / X800XTPE combo in unbeatable. Then in 3dmark05, the SLI setups take over. really makes it hard without the ability to exclude SLI from 3dmark ORB searches.
