0 right now, ok well you might get a 5% performance increase, probably won't notice it until newer games are released, most games don't push 4x to it s limits right now...

I don't think it's the games not stressing enough rather I believe the other system components like CPU and Chipsets not pushing enough bandwidth to the Video

I got nearly zero increase. Forget about performance. Just be happy it doesn't make your system crash.
