Core 2 vs i7 Benchmarks

Note their F-16 screenshot FPS comparison...

Interesting... the i7 920 is actually cheaper than the Q9550, but the motherboard and ram are more. Spending 150 dollars on 6 GB triple channel ram and 300 dollars on a motherboard is a bit steep. Plus there don't seem to be any decent native LGA 1366 CPU coolers.

On some tech forum I saw someone using the 920 with the Asus P6T and a cooler master heat sink/fan and had it overclocked to 4.0 ghz stable. Can you imagine the FPS that'd give? :costumes:
 
Let's see the fps using real weather over Aerosoft London X with all sliders maxxed out and very high resolution (1600x1200 minimum) with 8x AA and 16x AF :)
