Far Cry 2:

Settings: DirectX 10, 0x AA, overall quality value set to high and performance settings at high.
Colin McRae DiRT 2:
DiRT 2 is a driving game in the Colin McRae series. It features a built-in benchmark consisting of displaying a race of computer players using the same view as the gamer would.
Settings: 0x AA, in-game preset setting option to high.
Most games can only utilize up to four processing cores, with a small exception supporting up to six. As a result, it really isn't too surprising to see that the 3960X performed at the same level as the LGA-1155 based Sandy Bridge processors. Additionally, since the clock speeds of the 3960X are already above 3GHz, overclocking only marginally improved the maximum frame rate while gaming. This actually a good sign though, as it means the 3960X is not a bottleneck for the HD 6970, even when it is set at the stock frequencies.

On the 10th page, it says you're testing Farcry 2 and Dirt 2....But the descriptions are for Warhead and Lost Planet respectively (and in the settings for the Dirt2/Lost Planet description on the same page, the resolutions are flipped around from 800x600 to 600x800) >_>
Maybe my next rig will be Core i7 3930K based (the cheaper of the two 6 core CPUs). Less L2 memory sucks a bit, but it is significantly cheaper. Of course, by the time I build a new computer a whole new line of CPUs after these will probably have come out XD
