Quad Incoming!

[Yanamana]

if you recently upgraded to SP1 ( with out using windowsupdate) that could be the reason for your sudden drop in frame rate ( it was for me). There are issues with it and other hot fixes ( dont ask i dont know specifics, look it up and read if your curious). Some computers take SP1 just fine, others dont( mostly OEM's copys that are the problem children)

Good to hear Zanthor!!

I am still waiting on my QX9650 and QX9775 from my friend and then I will be on my way to quad core goodness!! D
Also, trying to combine the QX9650 with two 9600GT's or 8800GT's, but I am not sure if I would gain any performance benefits via SLI.

Just got my baby's yesterday!! Unfortunately the QX9775 turned out to be a QX9770, but I could care less considering I wasn't going to use the QX9775 anyway. I want to try this 10-box scenario out SOOOO badly, but I only have one graphics card so no 2+ monitor love. I will however see how well they run piled on top of each other!! :thumbsup: I am going either SLI via 8800GT or single card solution with a cheap 8800GTx $289AR. I will show up here a little later to post my findings.

you should know that afaik SLI doesnt support more than 1 display at a time (do dual view possible)... so you should go for better gpu
