I currently have an amd 3600 o/ced to 2.8ghz paired with a 4850. Despite what many people say about higher resolution gaming being not that dependent on processor speeds, i can feel the lag, especially in crowded areas
So now i have a e8500 on its way to fire up my pc's processing power. Anyway, pretty much the only game i play is TF2, and i was wondering if a 8800gt would do well @ 1920x1200 with the e8500. I have a suspicion it will do even better than my current 4850 + amd. I'm thinking of downgrading to a 8800gt to get some money back that could be used to offset the money used for the intel upgrade.
Any thoughts? I don't care so much about future proofing games and what not, as long as it drives tf2 @ 1920x1200, i'm happy
