If nothing else, that score clearly shows that your OC'ed E2180 is almost as far as Phenom 9500! (5032 vs. 5369 points). And, what's even better...ASUS HD3870 TOP gets 20% better score than Sapphire's 3870 Toxic(4158 vs. 3419)! Great job Dr.Feelgood. Grin King Wink

Here is the Phenom system i was comparing yours to : http://www.bigbruin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=76413#76413

Thanks for the detective work! Good stuff...

Funny thing is that I have that Sapphire card to review and I will be able to compare it head to head with the ASUS one very soon!

Feelgood, I don't hope you said 495$ for the Pro version, because that's an insane price!

$495 is the price according to the website. Hard to picture what type of person / group would put that kind of money out for that. I think the free license I got would be that big bucks variety!

And for a preview head-to-head... the ASUS OCed 3870 card beats the Sapphire OC 3870 card in this bench by a few hundred points. Look for the review next week. Wink

Also interesting... 3DMark06 seems like more of a stress test than Vantage... The fans get much louder in 06 and the maximum AC power draw is 40-50 Watts higher!
