    Oh cool review, as I was actually looking at getting this very set. I would say a 1000 increase in 3dmarks for 11 is quite a bit just based on a RAM upgrade.

    I will be honest I was quite surprised as well but being that I was running SLI 580's I am guessing they needed alot of bandwidth to feed em
    From recent MSN chat:

    ShannonR: what do you guys do with the frogs
    ca_adi: stress testing
    ShannonR: O.o
    does it hurt them?
    ca_adi: nah. we just overclock the **** out of them
    sometimes with LN2
    ShannonR: hahaha
    ca_adi: get the most badass scores in SuperPI
    ShannonR: lmao
    omg
    that is pure win

    I wouldn't doubt, but still usually RAM doesn't play much of a role in synthetic benchmarks. Maybe Futuremark did something right with this one for a change.

    Yeah 3D11 they went away from trying to similate peopel which has been pretty awful in the past to just scenery, but then again the bench is a bit more boring as well so its a give/take.

    but 3d11 as a whole seems to respond more to memory frequency vs previous benches..

    but still doesnt scale on multi cpu boards as well

    BTW thanks for reading the review!
