    I7 860 bottleneck?

    I currently run the game in full screen, DX11, with Vsync(A must have when I'm in sli for some reason or else I get 70+fps with chop) and max settings and a single card does about the same performance (surprisingly) as the game running in SLI. The thing is, As good as the i7 860 still is- I dont...

    I7 860 bottleneck?

    Hey guys, So I recently just upgraded to SLI GTX 580's (x2) for my monsterous gaming rig. Currently, I am running a Yamakasi 27" monitor at a resolution of 1440p and I notice in games like world of warcraft especially, my FPS drops to 40FPS for some crazy reason. There is NO way that sli gtx...

Instead of getting a completely new rig and ditching my current CPU that is a i7 860 @ 2.8ghz, I figured it might...

    Rate my rig? :)

    Actually! Im running max resolution on my monitor at 1680x1050 so Im guessing that might be a little weak? lmao! But I did manage to run into this benchmark here actually comparing my gtx285's to a single gtx480 without the DX11 which I can live without I suppose...

    Rate my rig? :)

    Hey guys, can you rate my rig by current day standards? I feel as if I'm a little dated on my hardware currently. Also, are there any bottlenecks I should be worried about? Core i7 860 @ 2.8ghz | GTX 285x2 SLI | EVGA P55V | 8GB Mushkin DDR3 | Corsair TX 850w | 1TB Western Digital 7200RPM 32MB...
