Hey guys,
I just recently upgraded to a XFX Radeon 5870 from a EVGA GeForce 280 GTX SSC. While everything seems smooth enough it doesn't seem to have as much of a punch as I was expecting it to.
This leads me to think that my overlocked Q6600 3.2 Ghz may just not be enough for this graphics card.
Those of you who have a similar setup, do you notice a bottleneck at all?
I intend to upgrade to a Core i7 920 sometime in the near future, but it's not something that I can immediately do.
I admit that I have yet to put the card through extensive gameplay and I really only spent an hour or two with it last night. I'm basically just looking for advice from the guys in the know.
