Default 8800GTX is heavily bottlenecked by CPU *results added
It seems the newer video cards really are getting faster than alot of cpu/mobo.

I noticed the existence of a cpu bottleneck after I killed my p5w and had to try other means. I thought I would share. The thumbnails show the rest of the info.

So it seems safe to say that you want your cpu pushing 3.0Ghz to get the best use of the GTXs.

They should have included an overclocked A64, or X2 in that graph :/

Yeah really. Not *everybody* is quite ready to make the quite pointless switch.

Yeah, but by that graph the bottlekneck has almost dissapeared when your E6600 has got to almost 4Ghz. But that is great info, even so that is terrible that you have to overclock a E6600 1.4Ghz over stock to remove the bottleneck
