Who has Q9550 with a GTX 280? Got some questions for you.

[Spitfire7]

I currently have the Q9550 with a bottlenecking 8800GT. I am going to get the GTX 280 and I was wondering how is your gaming performance with that combo? How is Crysis, COD4/5, FSX, GRID, and any other demanding graphics games?


I have the option to send my Q9550 back to get a E8600. Should I do it?

Just thought I would through out that a overclocked gtx 260 core 216 for $240 is faster than the stock 280 for $460. You almost could get two gtx 260 core 216 for the price of the 280!

Hey how much do you have to overclock the 260? I believe the lowest is a 602 core for the 280. Please enlighten me.
