At that speed and with a few hundred 7900's, what kind of frame rates do you think you could get?

btw- I know you cannot play games on that setup, but I can't help but fantasize about playing a game with a 2.8 petaflop computer!

Imagine COD2, Far Cry, Bf2, and FEAR running at more than 2048*1536, 16xFSAA, 16X AF, at no less than 300 FPS

Of course, you'll need a lot of X1950 XTX's

Don't you worry, game developers have always managed to produce poor code that brings even the most powerful machine to its knees. I'd say you get some 40FPS average from any game ported to this machine
