Do I have enough power?

do the boot up one. the one you run in winders is not that good.

Ultimate Boot CD - Overview

and a few other utilities on there

sadly nothing gpu inntensive. theres a cpu test, but i dont think its very heavy either. works though if you dont have an os installed

Well I tried putting the 260 back in, and system is running fine now, I'm gonna try doing some benchmarks to see if I get any performance increase.

the 260 makes a nice physx card, altough when paired with a 480 not sure how much more youll get, since the said 480 is a beast at that..

with a 5 series from ati it makes a world of difference from what ive seen. if you get it going :)

just benchmarked mafia 2, and I went from averaging 40 FPS to 58 FPS, pretty good increase to me.

I have evga x58 ftw3 motherboard with a i7 930 overclocked to 4 ghz with 4 gb corsair dominator 1600 mhz ram.

X58 Evga Board n I7 930 = Tri Channel DDR3 ...........why not 6GB Tri Channel ?...You're running Dual Channel with 2 x 2GB Kit..

Yeah I know, the only reason why I got the dual channel because I was on a really tight budget when buying the hardware, I had to get a new motherboard, cpu, and ram at the same time.

I'm planning on getting 6 gb triple channel soon though

18 fps, what resolution and eye candy did you set?

try a synthetic benchie as well. max it out

I still have my tiny 19 inch monitor at 1680 by 1050 waiting to upgrade that, but I already have everything maxed out. I got 18 fps increases with everything maxed out.

all i can say is that your system is not quite balanced. ive seen folks with 5770 and 24 inchers(of course they cant play all games at the native rez) but i think youre the handfull few ive seen the opposite :)

dont step lower than 24 inches, sammy makes good lcds. cheap too.

I was thinking of getting the 3d asus one, you know the one that comes with the 3d vision kit.
And I sometimes play my games on my 46 in' tv, at 1920 by 1080, so all this graphic horsepower doesn't go completely to waste.
