I got a 6800 GT recently. Amazing card, overclocks well past Ultra speeds with ease. However, I'm running a 2.4B P4 at stock speeds. I figured since they're only up to 3.4 I wouldn't be seeing scores too much lower....ha. What's with these new processors that pushes them so far ahead? Seriously debating upgrading my processor/MB as well now. Think its worth it?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just how much do these new processors help?

Why not consider overclocking? That CPU seems ripe for the picking. You are willing to overclock the GPU but not the CPU? Seems rather "silly" to me.
Maybe you can't overclock you CPU, or maybe you do not know how... still... it is free (If you can).

Doesn't like it? I got my 2.4 up to 3.4 no voltage bumps just a little memory tweaking. If you can get it up to 3Ghz I wouldn't even worry about a upgrade yet. If your stuck at 2.4 yes a upgrade is in order because your being severally limited by your CPU. I know i've seen a few reviews that compare different CPUs with the same video card but hell if I can remember where.
