Even with the small CPU clock speed difference, the overclocked CPUs have moved the bottleneck to the video cards and the SLI configuration in the new mid-range box soundly beats the previous system with the single 8800 GTX.
We’ve previously seen that Unreal Tournament 3 prefers a faster CPU and doesn’t respond to SLI as favorably as some other titles, yet the new SBM system still shows a lead at the highest tested resolution.
Crysis up next!
