So I have been playing with my new eVGA GTX 260 55nm and my performance test and from what I am seeing is it really hasn't given me a HUGE difference from my 8800GTS/512 (OCed to all hell). I can run many games with better AA but that is about all. Nothing outstanding. My buddy just got a new i7 Oced to 3.8GHz and we threw this thing in there and it made a huge difference over 1 8800GTX. It kept up with 2 8800GTX's in SLI to exept for 3Dmark06. but in a FarCry2 bench my card actually outperformed his 2.
So my question is. What is hindering my card. Could it be the 1.1 PCI-E bus. Would it be to my advantage to get a cheap P45 board until I can upgrade to an i7 sometime. I'd hate to not take advantage of my new card. Or is it my OCed e6400 (3.0 GHz) CPU?
