    See my sig for specs, except replace the x800xl with the 7800GTX, I figured I would be seeing INSANE difference in this card, especially for how much it cost, but I actually LOST FPS from the xl to the GTX in the CS: source stress test. 3dmark went up by about 3000 points, which is more around...
