Stream is ATi's version of CUDA. Specific applications include folding, compression and physics. So it's not a replacement for a cpu by any means.

I'm hoping it will fit in my 900 otherwise I won't be a happy bunny!

So, is it good or not? My P2 @ 3.6GHZ and 4870x2 gets 20k.
Ah well in that case fair enough lol... I assumed you were quoting the original post
fair dos.

Exceptionally dusty fan on that so called pic - also the benches he has posted seem low to me

Probably an early sample that's been doing the rounds, he says its on beta drivers and he doesn't appear to be all that clued up. And leaving a 965 at stock, sacrilege.

oh, I get paid on the 30th, looks like I'll have to break out the plastic
Hmm - I'd have to add 1920x1080 as a custom mode to test directly - but with only 3gig on the CPU and stock on the GPUs, max settings, 2048x res, x16 AF, x16 AA my 260GTX SLI gets:
scene 1 148.18
scene 2 120.71
scene 3 173.91
scene 4 106.15
Which stacks up pretty well imo... now to see what I can get at 1080p with some overclocking.

Not bad, so even if i only got one of these it would be a pretty good upgrade?
DMC4 Is CPU limited at that res.

Without getting too anal, and taking this thread off topic, that statement is so, so wrong.
How is it going to create the venturi effect? A centrifulgal fan has poor efficiency by its very nature. Only a positive displacement fan would create the effect you talk of. Even then, a nozzle/diffuser assembly would be required to reach good performance.
Using a centrifugal fan, larger vents would allow more air to escape faster, simple as.
p.s. Nothing personal Kyle
Thats why I just managed...
scene 1 208.56
scene 2 146.14
scene 3 259.50
scene 4 122.83
With a Q6600 at only 3gig and 2x 260GTX SLI with only v. mild OC (576->590). using 1080p, maxed settings, x8 AA, x16 AF.... might be some degree of CPU limitation but not that much.
EDIT: BTW they are clearly GPU limited in that link not CPU limited - they are topping out the GPU once the core 2 quads hit ~3gig and not seeing any faster performance for an extra 600MHz on the core.
