What is your fram rate?

[Changeup]

Corsair builds a decent single rail 750w. TX750 is the name I think. That should be good for you Changeup. It will have the connectors you need for that card and board.

Will single rail run all four of my +12's?

On the corsair site you can tell them what is in your machine and then it will tell you which is the best fit. It all depends on how many 12 volt items are drawing from the PS.

what is the website because I have dual 470s and I wonder if they are getting enough power to them. My fran rate for a triple monitor is 70 to 78

since I designed my own computer I do not have any frame rate issues. I run at 75 fps with no drops even during massive mission take-offs.

Ok...here we go.  Antec 750W 80+ installed and getting ready to give it a run...let you know later.  Thanks BE

Just click on the power supply tab.

weird cannot find my dell rig on their memory thing 

[Changeup]

Frame rates dropped some but not like before.  Went into the Nvidia control panel and noticed the clock speeds were different than advertised (I was supposed to have the super clocked EVGA model) I changed the clock speeds but wont know until tomorrow when I get in a mess in the MA.

Thanks for all the help BE!

Update:

EVGA Tech support said the Core 2 Duo Q6600 that I have is being bottlenecked by the GTX 460 and there is really nothing I can do about it .  The chip has a FSB of 1066mhz and that aint enough.  Sooooo, I just got 235.00 richer for the return and will re-install the GTS 250, 1 gig video card that I should never have replaced. 

The Changeup Family always does stuff the hard way...that is all...dismissed.

So they are trying to say that you should be using one of the i family to run with it? I should get one to test on my x58 based system. My GTS250 runs a solid 59-60FPS with everything maxed.

5 to 10 in furballs and Gvs. Its like a slow motion film happening before my very eyes.

10 to 20 on a good day

Yep...that's what they're saying

In an eariler post the mobo was a 680i board. The 1066Mhz FSB of the Q6600 is stock which would put the mem bandwidth (speed) at 533Mhz, right? Could this be the issue w/ a Fermi? On other BBS's users that were using the Q6600 w/ a Fermi vid card had the chip/mem OC'd (FSB clocked at 1333 or higher w/ subsequent OC of mem) & some of them were using the 680i mobo most likely w/ a BIOS update (this part is assumption, not fact).

I am currently running a GTX 470 SC on a 780i FTW mobo (std FSB is 1333) using a C2D E8600 CPU (std FSB is 1333) w/ 4Gb PC8500 DDR2 mem (std speed 1066 Mhz) w/o any issues. My FR stays between 55-60 FPS. I do have my E8600 OC'd (FSB up to 1600 from 1333 w/ multi at 10x =4.0 GHz ) but all else at stock settings/voltages/timings. The 470 runs at 57%-68% GPU usage approx 98% of the time while in-game w/ all graphics on maxed but shadows set at 4096 for preference (have run w/ 8192 shadows but scenes are darkened from it). IMHO if the Q6600 would have been OC'd (FSB at 1333 or higher w/ mem also clocked up to 800 or higher) the 460 would have behaved better notwithstanding the PCI-E 1.0 spec lanes.

This info don't mean nothing now since you've refunded the 460 Changeup but may help some other user that has a 680i mobo & is thinking about getting a Fermi vid card to run on it.

Just making an observation.

My monitor can handle three refresh option: 60 Hz, 70 Hz and 75 Hz.

Which could be the best?

I havent returned it yet if you have any suggestions on getting the FSB OC'd
