Both systems produce excellent results, but Puget’s Deluge L3 gets the higher score over the Falcon Northwest Mach V.
The Mach V shines in the video test for SYSmark 2007, easily surpassing the Deluge L3’s score.
SYSMark again favors the Mach V in the Productivity test, though this time the Deluge L3’s score is somewhat closer, thanks to the system’s impressive hardware.
Oddly, the Deluge L3 beats out the Mach V in the 3D test. But given the results of the previous two tests, we expected the Mach V to continue the trend of scoring higher.
As expected, the Mach V posts a small margin of victory in the final SYSMark 07 test.
With its overclocked processor, the Deluge L3 sweeps the Sandra CPU benchmark tests, though the Mach V isn’t very far away.
For the memory bandwith test, Sandra clearly favors the Mach V and its slightly higher FSB speed over the Deluge L3.

Why not a test a game that isn't limited by CPU...like Cryshit
Care to actually explain why the FNW system got such low CPU utilisation on HD playback?
It would be nice to see the HD resolutions listed regularly (1920 x 1080) as people with this much grunt are undoubtedly using their PCs on HD TVs @ 1080p. I mean who on earth plays at resolutions over 2000 pixels wide?
I'm amazed at the poor selction of games that they have chosen to benchmark on. I mean 3 old games and 2 very CPU bound games. I seriously have no idea what they where thinking. Nobody is every going to get a quad/tri SLI setup and then go and play serious sam 2. I really hope they redo this with some good benchmarks: 3DMark Vantage, Crysis, Company of Heroes: OF and maybe Oblivion and UT3.
omg...where's crysis, where's ut3...hell where is oblivion?!
I thought this was supposed to be a thorough test, not just a means to show that quad-SLI performs less than 3-way SLI in SOME game titles...
i would like to comment, but i would just repeat whats already been said, this review gets two thumbs down.
Worst review ever.
Why did they test 3 ultra's against essentialy 4 8800GTS 512's. Also its not an equal test because the two system are different, they should have used the same mobo, processor, ram and hdd etc
