For some die hard fans it may take a while for me i could care less if movies etc are in 3d but in some games you just have to experience it to say

lol thats what im always telling people with the whole gpu thing,
these days the cards are so powerful that there are few games that even push them,
i had a 9600gt for ages and the only games i couldn't run on max was metro 2033, crysis, gta4 and thats about it. anytime i say about my new build people are like you need to get a mobo with 3x pcie slots so you can crossfire your 5870 oh and saying that 8x slots would be slow (yeh right) 1 x16 slot with a good card is more than enough for most people.

seconded also I rather by one powerful card than SLI/crossfire, overall cost does be less, less power, less the need for a fancy motherboard, less driver issues, 8800gt can still run games, though not at the highest detail.

I agree too but remember there are pros and cons to each setup and to each his own, in terms of one powerful card i would say that is more myth than truth how can one define one powerful card? because its faster than another brand, series? what is the criteria for one powerful card or is it just personal preference ? In some cases SLI does cost less am not sure of Crossfire as i have no real world experience with ATI cards frankly i dont like em PERSONAL PREFERENCE. According to AnandTech, 8800GT SLI beat a single GTX 280 and cost less

In terms of power come on who actually looks at there electricity bill and say omg my pc just pull 700watts if that was the case many people would be scared to even turn on there rigs :lol:
You dont even need a fancy mobo people say you need 2x pcie 16 when 2 x 8 pcie shows no real difference, and as for driver issue that was a thing of the past way in the past.

I have my 8800gt still in my rig as a physx card all because i love it so much and only paid 400 for it

this thing had me reading up more on it yes.
Yes windows index is a kind of lame way of rating your system but apparently drivers play a role and of course my bottlenecked situation. :(

oh sheit... just checked this as well...

wei scores are just guidelines its a hit and miss most times, there's tons of factors to consider when getting anything over 7.5 and comparing it to what someone else got is pointless in most instances

after reading the last few messages, i'm glad I have a 460,

but I need you guys help with one more issue, I'm looking to buy a sandy bridge motherboard, more specifically I'm looking at the Asrock p67 extreme6. Does anyone know how well this motherboard performs against it's competitors, Asus p8p67 deluxe, gigabyte P67A-UD7 or MSI P67A-GD80? which one would be the better buy?

Any help would be appreciated.

Elyon, I just bought the P8P67 WS Revolution and it's working great.
And I'm using it with a EVGA GTX 460 SSC 1024MB DDR5

i upgraded from a P5K Deluxe and GT8800

I had scored 7.6 with everything set to default.
just ran auto tune in AI Suite II (ASUS windows based manager) and I improved my Windows Experience score to 7.7

will try the EXTREME setting later and post the score.

HC Overclocking guys... do you all allow your parts to "burn-in" for some time before cranking them up? or... as you get the parts... max it to its full performance?

For me, when i get the part(s), depending on what type of component it is, i just see how high i can get the specs via overclocking, run a few benchies and make sure everything is stable, then revert to stock clocks on everything. Doing so i know how much headroom i have for my parts so if an application demands it i can overclock when necessary, So far i haven't come across anything that demands any overclocking of my systems.

Burn-in happens after i get a suitable stable overclock, not before.
