8800GT Non-effective Upgrade

[<[MaTT]>]

Get new cpu, its making the graphics cards mess with your head. LOL

Crysis is probably THE worst game to benchmark with. I actually get lower frame rates with my SLI turned on than with it off.

I have a socket 939 mobo. I couldn't find any processors ascending past 4600+ for that socket.

Does anyone have a recommendation perhaps for a processor that would do an 8800GT justice that I overlooked?

How is that possible? Sounds like a hardware issue.

sounds like horrible SLi support to me

NOS when did you get an 8800gt?
didn't you get a $400 GTX? or 2?
cuz on a 24'' you'd think the extra $100 for a GTX would be worth it

lol its not my sig, notice it says hmammen on the side!!!! hahaha imade this for hmammen, and i thought it would be funner if he discovered it in my sig other than a pm!!

I should get around to making one of those fancy sigs. Oooo, and i just remembered, i installed cs3 on one of the new computers at work, and have an old photoshop v6 cd on my desk from the old install

 

[NosBoost300]

wow that version is old.. i downloaded v6 not too long ago because i needed something really quick.. and jesus did i hate it... nothing lower than cs2 for me

 

[Twizted_3kgt]

i have cs3 and have no clue how to do anything. I want a cool sig for my new build
