Yes, looks like the GPU is the bottleneck there. Thanks for the article.

Now I'm really happy I went with the 2500K and upped it to 4.8gHz. Seems that by keeping the video card the same, that review also pointed out the capabilities of the CPUs stacked against each other and their benefit towards the FPS output. I can't believe that the new flagship of the AMD side of CPUs sucks soo bad compared to the Sandy Bridge i7s...I mean they beat the 8CORE fastest CPU AMD offers in every test, just about. I wouldn't think they would release a product that is so easily shown to not be able to compare well with the competition.
