In what?
Some of the guys at Xtremesystems had 8800gtx's early, and a single GTX still responded at stock clocks to the kentsfield overclocks. They didn't do much games testing but 3DMark06 scores still went up with just CPU overclocks.

On 3DMark06 (which was as gpu bound as it came) with Kentfield at 2.66ghz and 8800GTX at stock you were looking at around 8k, you needed to take the kentsfield to 3.5ghz to break 11k with no gpu overclock. Thats why I said a FX60 was wasted on SLI GTX, an overclocked Core 2 quad isn't enough to feed it. I can't think of another card were a CPU overclock will gain you over 3K on 06. And when you overclock the cards with SLI its even worse, its still CPU bound at 4.5ghz.
