Thought about posting new thread there, keep thinking about it, closed MM, need to know how much that 5960 is!! Maybe to rich for me, i dunno, heres hoping it will be around <£700

I think X99 needs a good look before committing to it.

The top of the range 5960X because of the 8 cores I think is going to overclock really bad so won't be much use to drive more than a single card but will be fantastic on the physics score.

The middle 5930k with 6 cores and 40 PCI-E lanes I think will be the best for multi GPUs and will hopefully overclock like an IB-E or a little better.

The 5820k as has been said elsewhere is ok for 1 or 2 cards but I am not happy with even this where you can not run X16/X16 on 2 cards. The bandwidth demands on cards is only going to increase in the next couple of years.

The reviews when these CPUs hit the shelves are going to make some interesting reading.
 
No half hearted wimpy benching in this thread please.:D

Anyone who feels that they can not handle real benching please let me know and I will start a thread for the Ice Storm bench.:D:p:p:D

Congrats 8 Pack top score there.
