Alex, there is no confusion. I shall quote my opening of the thread, "...you will never reach those numbers in real world operation. Does the same hold true about gaming and FPS?" and, "So I ask what are the benefits of a multi-thousand dollar gaming rig besides bragging rights? The topic here is centered around benefits to the owner of said computer..."
Please take the time to read the entire thread before calling someone confused.
