Good temps under load. No worries here.

Cool.

So now I have driver questions.

I am forced to use the 175.19 drivers , based on my crappy secondary video card (an fx5500)......

Am I losing Points ?

Or should I just upgrade my secondary card ?

Oh my. It still works?

Going by your points on the stats page , if they are all from the GTX they look about right. If you could upgrade your second card thats probably the way to go. If you do upgrade, its best to try and get another card with the same number of SP's. The 'Shader Bug' sometimes affects setups with mismatched cards effectively downclocking the faster card to almost the same speed as the slow one...

Barely...

I like to use 2 video cards for my dual monitors.I'm using that fx5500 because the forceware drivers won't allow ATI driver install....my old 2ndary card was an ati.......It seem's to want NVIDIA only .... fine with me , but it's a pain because I can't use latest drivers , I hafta use the best drivers for the fx5500 , because thats the pci card I have.......

I think I'm buying another card.

Testing out the new 180.60 drivers reading thru the forums it now uses less cpu. I know BrainEater you cannot run this driver but anyone else running this driver i hear the 180.70 is not so stable but its more optimized to Quadro cards. Its using anywhere from 1-7% of the cpu before it was about 11-14%
