I recently went from 8800gts (1st gen) to a 9800GTX "+" and it was a decent improvement for the $. But im going to stepup to a 260GTX 216 soon.
Funny thing is (or not so funny) when I used EVGA percision and OCd it a little tiny bit and then ran ATITool to scan for artifacts I heard this funny squeeling noise from the GPU (ive heard this is common) and I set it back to defualt. Well I swear it runs about 20FPS slower. I wonder if I broke something lol. Btw is using evga percision under warrently becuase I could not find anything on their site.
