Hi all,
Like most others here, I'm considering up grading to a new video card, but I was wondering about something else that's related. I'm wondering how fast of a CPU do you need to max out the capabilities of a 9600XT and/or the 9800XT. I have a 2.4C that I can push to 3.0, but its not totally stable and I'm wondering if I'd even be loosing any performance in a 9600XT between 2.4 and 3.0. Can any of you OC'ers do a couple of 3Dmark 2001's/2004's if you have this combo to let me know the difference between a 9600XT and 9800XT at stock 2.4 versus 3.0? I know synthetic benchies don't do the whole question justice, but it will give me one more piece of info about whether upgrading is worth it as well as how fast I need to overclock to to max out the video card.
Thanks,
Anthropas
