Intel Core i7-990X 

3D Mark Vantage

As always 3D Mark Vantage is largely reliant upon the GPU, rather than amazing amounts of CPU horsepower. Nonetheless though we still have some tremendous scores with the 990X capable of pushing the Zotac GTX580 well beyond 30000 P-Score. Impressive indeed.

3D Mark 11

The latest of the Futuremark benchmarking applications, 3D Mark 11, really gets a boost from the 32nm 990X, with both stock and overclocked forms ruling the roost quite comprehensively. 2000 X Marks from a single GPU is nothing to be sniffed at.
