http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epppeN_sCIw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHueTCAMSXQ&feature=related Both those Youtubers with HD 5870s seem to have greater performance than me. I have better Cpus than both of them (A Core i7 870) and a stock clock HD 5870 by XFX. When I play SC:C I get around 21-31 fps or just about 25 average. when I record I get half that ranging between 12 and 18 fps. (record with Xfire that is) Of course I'm talking about maximum settings 1920x1080p 8 X AA and all that, but it seems as if they're getting a lot higher FPS than I am. Something wrong?

The top guy is overclocked to 4 Ghz, I'm not an intel guy but thats higher i'm guessing than stock i7 870. Also take RAM into consideration and They might be SLI-ing their 5870.

I know what SLI is and you can't SLI an ATI card. You Crossfire it :)

The first video has an i5 750 oc to 4GHz which will give better performance than your 870 at stock speeds. The only real difference between your cpu and his is that yours has Hyper Threading. Also, if you look at his video settings at the beginning he is using 2x AA not 8.
