Could you have a look where my 290X is in the table, I think it should be at no.6

Graphics score isn't too shabby. Physics score shows my old faithful 2500K up as a bit creaky though.
Well you would still only just manage 12k on a highly clocked 4700k with good 2400mhz ram. Sure the scores would look like a really well balanced system with 12k on both GPU and CPU but you would not really see too much of a difference in games. Enjoy the system and wait for 8 cores.

I get that physics score with my i5 760 at 4.3ghz, surely something wrong?
It looks fairly similar to other i5 processors on the leaderboard, all seem to be around the 7,000-8,000 mark with a couple of exceptions.
