    8800gts 320mb SLOW?!

    hmm... Any particulars that bring you to this conclusion? Am I right in assuming most issues with PSU's are voltage sag when overworked correct? I've noticed voltage readings on my psu tend to err on the side of higher than spec (but not by much, well within manufacturer specs) Its a...

    8800gts 320mb SLOW?!

    8800gts 320mb SLOW?!

    First off, let me start by stating that I Understand I have a dated processor (I have a tight budget and this mobo/proc was donated to me by a kind friend). But when you see the performance I'm getting from this thing, maybe it'll deter you from pointing the finger at that immediately... So...
