I have a E8400 @ stock 3.0 with two 9800GTXs, and I get about 11k in the GPU 3d vantage. If I were to OC my CPU, would I see some significant improvements? (although I tried, but my CPU overheated for some weird reason)
Cuz I thought any Core2Duo at or near 3.0 GHz should handle 9800GTX and GTX260 SLi just fine without major bottlenecks...?
Nope. Get it to 3.6
I have the CPU bottlenecking the GPU as well. But I can't OC with my current board. If your board alows OC, get it to 3.33 or 3.6 if you're comfortable. The E8400 is capable of 4+
