thanks for the help, im trying to play mostly all games on max for a 2560x1440 monitor im about to get, 4870x2 is a good card but i have the diablo 3 beta and kinda has moments dropped fps, and if im in a party will drop to about 30-40fps ranges, i was wondering if its my processor holding the card back or just the card itself? but i suppose i can just hang a bit longer for newer cards.
