How bottlenecked will this be?

[AzN]

Did you try updating your physX drivers like I asked?

I explained the logic behind GPU limited situations and if you can't comprehend that I have nothing more to tell you. You can stand there like a rock and bark all you'd like but in the end you are being ignorant because you don't understand the difference between GPU limitation and CPU bottleneck. There's nothing for me to say.

For anyone who's interested:

CPU Scaling w/ GTX 280 (This one contains A64 CPUs)

CPU Scaling w/ HD 5970 (This one scales i7 920 from 2.0 GHz to 4.0 GHz)

Well I was gonna test the 5850 with my AM2 5600+ setup but it doesn't seem to want to work...so I may not be able to show the test results.

But im not incredibly optimistic about getting this card to work, going to have to wait until Friday to try it with my new i5 setup. Gah.

Seems bad card - test it on i5 setup and then RMA it if it doesn't work.

Really unlucky.
