After reading IGN's Graphics Settings Guide, and seeing that they were able to max out all settings with a Nvidia 460 at 1980x1080, I was sure my evga 560ti would breeze through Deus Ex: HR (Steam) playing at 1680x1050. However I find that I am experiencing severe stuttering while playing...

Thanks to all who replied. Gave myself to think about it last night. For now, my Q9550 and GTX 275 are doing OK, so I think I'm going to wait for the game (whatever that is) that I can't play on high settings on my system. Right now I'm looking forward to Portal 2, but I should be fine for...

Thanks V.L., will do that. Any thoughts on C1E and EIST? I've got them both on right now, for energy savings, as I wasn't seeing any real performance difference.

Whoops, I meant Performance Mode: Turbo, Standard

I've got a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P (No overclocking), and I'm just wondering if anyone disables any or all of these functions. I've checked around at some other forums, and, out of curiosity, I thought I'd ask here. The longest discussion I found was over at the Cakewalk forum. It seems that a lot...
