I am not happy with the benchmark scores of this system. Sometimes when I open games such as WoW and tab out I get excessive screen tearing so I have to restart the game.

I am overall happy with this system I just wanted something better for my gaming experience that doesn't lag.

I don't need to spend 4k if its worth waiting but I would like some assistance making my current build perform well in bechmarks. If that means a new i7 920 and mobo then so be it.

Please give me some advice on how I should go about this. I get very low scores in some tests I have done compared to intel systems.

Here is my concern. When comparing my system to an i7 Platform the i7 Scores 6500.

If you are spending 3 grand +, either get two video cards, or get a 5870 (or two). Come on now.

Why are my ratings so terrible One of the reasons I want to upgrade!

Also would it be worth buying another GTX 285 to run in SLI or just get one 5870 HDs

Can we stop making useless comments about the money I am investing in this system and the fact that I am not getting XXX Product with that money.

I need some solid opinions on upgrade paths from my current system

Thanks :P

Please review the benchmarks I posted

I pictured your avatar saying that.

If you're existing system lags, you're doing it wrong.

And if you seriously expect to see a difference in performance, you're crazy.

Benchmarks =/= Games
