i actually haven't read benchmarks on any r520 boards as yet but theres no need to attack me for it
just sayying is all , atm two slied 6800gt's or ultras can pwn it. Nvidia at the start of sli reported 3dmark 2005 (or 2003 scores , can't remeber withc one , probably 2005) achived 10,something
so in a sence there is the ups and downs of owning this product and i stick to ati when i by new cards anyway (just not the gecube ones)
fx cores did have crap implementation of dx9 , But i come to the conclusion that nvidia will be owned by ati once again , why do you ask , i'm just not impressed with this 3dmark score atm , but ofcourse 3dmark isn't everything is use to be , you want to look in the area of real world gaming. And also ther is not future proofing on these boards , just wait for the next series that come with more future proffing , i'm up for future proffing more then anything atm
