Pencil me in for 11 minimum. Guesstimating at around 5-7 for average, though. May seem a bit high for anyone who's followed by posts about Fermi, but I don't doubt they'll be fast... just not worth it for anything but benchmarks
just did a 2560x1600 test on my 24inch monitor, i guess Crysis renders at full resolution and then displays at maximum available to your monitor.

I'd say +7, it's a bit pessimistic, but hey. Although on optimized games...probably +15 On unoptimized, about +5. Avg: +8.
my guese, well 9 jumped to mind but considering this is a very high rezolution (traditionally nvidea's territory) I'm gonna go higher and say 13, unlucky for some!!
i don't remember there being any prize for the Fermi transistor count, so no, not from me, sorry. although perhaps a digi-cookie. or Krikkit may add a few rep points to you, if you be nice to him
at least 12fps faster @personaboveme - how many transistors does it have? Im thinking a crapload since radeons have like 2 billion and are fairly small chips....so Fermi has like....a trillion?
