Reply: (edit)I have no idea if this will help or not, how are your temperatures after gaming? It could be that you need better cooling. Also, is your power supply good enough to handle that system?

Reply: (edit)This might sound stupid to you, but have you checked bios when you boot to make sure that your computer is reading all of your parts correctly? Actually, forget that I said that, I now see your benchmark post. You wouldn't happen to have anti-aliasing and/or anisoptropic filtering turned on would you?

Reply: (edit)Go to the advanced properties of your video card. I've never used a nvidia card, but for the ATI cards, there's an option about anti-aliasing, and anisotropic filtering. Sorry I'm not that much of a help, I'm just randomly throwing things your way. 2.8c 800mhz fsb
