I just ran Cinebench R11.5 64-bit and did the OpenGL test for my graphics card. Here's the funny part. My 6870 combined with a quad core Phenom II x4 955 BE.....performed better than a 12-core AMD Opteron with an ATI FirePro V8750 Workstation card. What. The. Hell.

FYI FirePro fail at all those benchmarks for one simple reason. Those cards are the type you use for design, not real-time processing like consumer cards.
There the ones Pixar and all those compaies use to make amazing CGI graphics that are far superior to what consumer video cards can create.
Consumer cards specialize on Real-time only...thats it.
