Article about the G80 along with high end processors

I just came across this article from Tom's Hardware and found it really informative. It tells you about how upgrading to the G80 from like an X1950XTX (for example) might mean LESS performance in games (UNLESS you have the C2D ).

Here is a quote from the article:

"Again here we saw the low driver overhead from ATI's drivers come into play, as the scores for the GeForce 8800 series cards were limited under the old setup. This is a place where buying a faster graphics card might not give you better performance, but when moving to the new Conroe Extreme platform, the scores are much different."
