I see, so you don't believe the huge AMD-fan who nevertheless posted what Theo emailed him in response to his inquiry??? BTW, Theo never retracts his crap. Remember AMD's 65nm K8 launch... Theo heard "voices from the east" telling him those parts would clock at 3.2GHz. Hilarious. Don't you think it is likely that hothardware.com was used for at least the top score? You know, THREE GPUs?

The 3GHz Phenom system in Leipzig has two HD 2900XT cards. hartware.de hartware.de hartware.de pc-magazin.de It was hard to imagine that Theo describes the internal components and over clocks the GPUs without knowing how many graphics cards there are in the system... I don't know. I see single non-overclocked 2900TX results at 15,000 3DMarks06. So would a system with two (somewhat overclocked) 2900TX be able to break the 30,000? I think the RD790 may play an important role with HT3.0 which goes to 3.6GHz and higher, as well as two full x16 PCIe 2.0 interfaces, one to each GPU. And then there's also the memory bus at 1066 MHz. 60% higher as Barcelona's 666 MHz. I would believe Theo here for the simple fact that this will be so easy to prove or disprove. A dishonest journo would use "undisclosed sources" which he could blame latter if things turn out different. Regards, Hans
