Well, encoding is one of the most CPU dependent things out there, and scales almost directly with total CPU power.

That's about 3 times my performance (counting 2nd pass ofcourse).

But almost noone cares about their encoding speed (who encodes stuff a lot here?  Me and... me?), and almost everyone care about their gaming instead.  Too bad for gaming it'll be more like a 2% difference in FPS (which you can't even notice) than 200%.

How much does that cost?

980x is 880 pounds over here at local store

technically i could buy one straight offf with my cash rebate when it comes but then i need new ram and board xD
