Getting back into WoW / Boxing, need hardware advice.

This site (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html) lists the passmark ratings, and the 670 is rated at 5,349 compared to the 6870's 2,555 rating, so I'm hoping for a vast improvement. The 680 was only rated at 5,682, which is why I didn't grab it ... seems like a small improvement for $100.

If you can tell me what those numbers mean then I won't entirely discredit that site. How do those numbers pertain to FPS in World of Warcraft while multiboxing? Actually, how do those numbers pertain to FPS in any game?

The answer is... They don't. I'm not being a dick or calling you out, but too many people rely on that site to make their next big purchase and it really doesn't tell you much of anything except that the GTX 670 gets 5,349 points. Points for what?

No review site that I know of uses Passmark in any of their benchmark compilations -- I would suggest sticking to looking at gaming benchmarks at high resolutions (1920x1080 and up) in order to make future purchases.

I started going through the ISBoxer tutorials last night after I posed. You did a very nice job on them, and make the settings easy to understand, so thank you.

Thanks. My video tutorials are mostly out-of-date at the moment because ISBoxer 41 just came out and a lot of things don't match up, but I'm working on it.
