|  Is this right? I installed my new 7800GT yesterday and reinstalled the drivers. I tried overclocking today but decided to bring back to stock. Just a few minutes ago, I ran 3dmark 05. I was suprised to see that I only got 7250. Does this sound right for the rig that I am on?   I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| It's at 2.3 ghz already. Unfortunately I can't get it any higher. How bottlenecked is the videocard by the CPU? I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| From what I understand, the bottlneck is a decent one.. Make sure your driver settings are tuned for performance.... Now that I think of it, 7200 may be just a wee bit low.

| oh yea. It isn't tuned for performance. AA and AF is application controlled. Image quality is at Quality. I could lower it, and retest. But not tonight, tommorrow morning. I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| Modder-ator  | THIS LINK should be helpful for comparing CPU gaming performance with a 7800GT :thup: However, looking at THIS follow-up article, it looks like if you have higher quality enabled, your processor won't make as much of a difference as the bottleneck switches to the video card. So overall, it looks like if you are a benchmark freak, then you will be bottlenecked by the CPU. But if you actually game with AA and AF, then it will be your graphics card that is bottlenecked.  |

| Oh that makes alot of sense. Just increase the visuals so the videocard has more work. No, im not a benchmark freak. In fact, I rarely run benchmarks. I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |
