Other than Apple history of graphic drivers that they are just now trying to make up for... or that the 2.26 was a downgraded way to get more RAM installed...
The 12 core 2.93? I've seen Geekbench of dual 3.33's (SR-2 from EVGA) hit 30k.
I wonder if nVidia and Apple are going to 'sit this one out' or offer GTX 480 down the road.
It takes some extra work to add 2nd small PSU to provide 450W graphics power (2 x 8 and 2 x 6-pin) to go beyond using one somewhat good card.
nVidia does have some Quadro models in the wings with more RAM worth looking at.

Do you or have you tried your hardware but running Windows instead? might be interesting to compare.
