Quick question about the 8800gts

[Patrick1]

I have an Athlon64 3000+ running at 2.55Gh on a dfi lanparty ultra - d
Right now i have a 7800gt and i would like to upgrade to a 8800gts

I run my games at 1280x1024

Would i be CPU limited if i upgraded to a 8800gts?

Yes... you would.

You'd still see a boost... In things like Oblivion...

I agree with Arcygenical

I had a Opteron 146@3.0GHz with a 7900GT oc'ed to 560/800 and when I built my new system with a Core 2 Duo X6800 that oc'ed to 3.5GHz, it ran faster on every game and benchmarks faster.

I'm in a similar situation: s754 Venice 3400+ @ 2.7GHz in an SLI motherboard with a 7900GT.

I have no idea what to do first: upgrade to a C2D (+mobo+ram), or ride it out on s754 with a second 7900GT or a single 8800GTS...

All of the latest games run fine (stuck at 1280x1024 thanks to a 19" LCD) so I'm hesitant to do anything...
