The first link doesn't work, even after the re-formatting.

The second links compares a GTX480 vs a GTS250.

Well, thanx I'd spend  too much time behind the 'screen' , virtually seeing no faults  .

No idea what you did, but links 1 and 4 still don't work.

Link 2 still compares a GTX480 vs a GTS250 (which is probably inside a laptop). What exactly would this signify?

Link 3 compares an i7-2600 vs an E6600; nice to see the i7 performing better, but when only comparing the clock-speeds one would expect more: an E6600 is clocked at 2.4GHz, the i7-2600 at 3.4GHz. 2.4/3.4 * 9226 = 6512 vs 5398. So besides the, clock-speed, the speed-up of an i7-2600 on this kind of work is about 20%. Nice, but not spectacular seeing at the i7-2600 is two generations beyond the E6600.

So, no, I do not see where the "No words are needed. Deeds made it happen." comes from. I think this needs a lot of explanation.

No offense intended.

Just wanted to compaire a GPU from 200 series and 400 (FERMI) and  difference between
a non-AVX CPU and  AVX capable  CPU with the V40(x41g) installer.
It's the generation difference I wanted to show, not a good example  , I know.

As I said, no offense intended. I found it actually quite interesting, since I'm still running Seti@Home on a Q6600 (2 E6600's slapped together) and an 8800GTX.

I am looking at a possible upgrade, and that would consist of something like an i7-3930k and a GTX680, but I'm not sure what it would bring. Therefore, doing the comparison and scaling between an E6600 and an i7-2600 was certainly quite enlightening...

I'm also still waiting for that killer-app (game in my case) that needs such a hardware-upgrade.

I should have give more examples, only a years ago 1 used an 8500GT and 9800GTX+ which,
in hot times, made the sound of a vacuum cleaner and started to produce errors.
An ATI 4850 was actually smoked, while doing MW 

The 8500 and 9800 were replaced by GTX470 & 480, first with Q6600 CPU and 480 with
QX9650 (@3,6GHz).
Over a year ago I put togheter an i7-2600 , INTEL DP67BG mobo, 4 x 2GB DDR3 1600MHz.
DRAM and 2 HD5870 (CYPRESS) GPUs and a 1KWatt PSU.
I run it a little above stock by increasing the base-clock from 100 to 102MHz. (Max Multiplier
38x {turbo-modus for 2 cores @ a time}.

Compaired to the x9650, (same {Whetstone}FLOPS are about equal (~3400MFLOPS), the
i7-2600 is faster with the LUNATICs app with AVX. ~5000 seconds for a 0.4AR MB WU.
Also has 8 threads, the i7-3960, has 12.
