Can anyone point me to a CPU scaling study for the V5 with FSAA max'ed out at 640x480 resolution?

I'm familar with this one from a few years back:
http://nightstormer.tripod.com/voodoo_article6.htm

All resolutions higher than 640 cap out on the test rig but at 640x480 FSAA 4x frames are still rising at 1400mhz, which was as far as the tester could take it. I'm curious how much higher she goes. "2ghz" gets thrown around but are there any hard benchmarks out there?

EDIT: per comment below it should be 640x480 2X I'm asking about.

Actually in the 4X FSAA case, at any resolution, it's showing no scaling or a mere +0.57% going from 733MHz to 1400MHz. 2xFSAA is similarly stuck except for the lowest resolution, which is probably what you're concerned with here.

I stand corrected - it's 640x480 FSAA 2X I should be asking about.
