That's what i said Dilbert. Cpu is far more important than Gpu for the graphics business. Lets be honest, no one ever renders on the fly all day long. It's done one or twice in a day for checking before the full renders are started and no one cares if it take 2 or 3 minutes since that's small comapared to the full render time.
Nope, i contend that no one actually buys these high end cards except people who love to be on the bleeding edge.
