I'm currently running this card http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-nVidia-GeForce-PCI-Express-01G-P3-N988-TR/dp/B0032W602A
I recently finished building a system with the following specs -
I7-940 CPU, 6GB DDR3 PC-1600 RAM (triple channel), and the Intel DX58SO motherboard (did the big deal from Intel). When I bought the card I wanted something just to play wow with, but now I'm thinking I'd like to get a little more performance as I might be moving up to larger games. I'm running everything on a 40" 1080p samsung tv, and I just ran 3d Mark Vantage and got these scores -
3DMark Score - P6488 3dMarks
CPU Score - 35922
Graphics Score - 5096
I know these threads come up all the time, but I might still be able to process a return through newegg on this card and possibly pick up a GTX 480. However, it would be a lot easier for me (and in the event I cant do an exchange) pick up a 2nd 9800 GT and SLI them. I really have no designs for directx 11 - I just want higher framrates in games. I might pick up FF14 when it comes out, so I want that to shine.
Thoughts?
