Quote:Originally Posted by malmental that's a stock comparison.. the 965BE has an unlocked multi and therefore is easier to overclock. I had my 965BE @ 3.8 with all settings stock/auto and just hitting the multi.oh.. okay. I can't...

Quote:Originally Posted by revro check this http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/82?vs=50 at bottom of list are games, so you see your cpu is weak in game like farcry 2 that utilize more cores. for example i had to oc my q9550...

I'm going to play at 1600x900 when I get my 660. All I want to do is iron out the occasional crap FPS my 460 gives me.

Hey. No idea if OCN just glitched or what but I'm posting again since my old post disapered. Would the 660 have a bad bottleneck with my CPU?

Sorry for double posting, but I swear the prices on the 660's have dropped a good $10 since a week or two ago, or is this just me?
