Impact on HD content:
-I tried a handful of full HD 1080p movie trailers from Apple. Although it's CPU-rendered, but it will be slowed down to a Powerpoint slideshow upon playback, with frame-skips.
Test Results:
PCIE Lanes (Core/Shader/Memory)
On average, 3DMark06 score increased by a staggering 275%!
Though not as significant as 3DMark06,
but the average fps was boost by 183%.
Crysis enjoyed a 223% increase in framerate, as it is a very GPU intensive game, especially with the High settings and resolutions.
Raw Data:
For those who are interested in raw numbers.

Highest possible setting in Company of Heroes.
CoH @ X16: I ran this benchmark at least a dozen times in total, because unlike Crysis & 3DMark06, it's results fluctuate pretty violently.
