    Support for the 3 series already, if you bought EVGA cards with your new PC SS, you may be able to step them up if they come out fairly soon.

    Yeah well hope it helps. I got BFG video cards. I have to register them soon. But I wouldn't do a step up till the 400 series cards come out. It will probably be a couple months still to wait tho, but BFG does the step up program. I just have to register them lol. To much gaming.

    I ran Crysis on my pc with the january nvidia drivers on saturday. 1680x1050 ultra high settings 16x AA, AF and probably 50-60 FPS with my current setup. Also I run BC2 max settings and I think it does decently well. I think it is actually only using 1 of my cores on my CPU so I have to fix that. But overall the performance at max settings of bc2 is good. Im hoping these drivers make it better.

    I'm having an issue with 197.13. SC2 is alt-tabing repeatedly. So I rolled back to 196.21 and SC2 stopped doing it.

    Yea, I'm going to drop the 965 into my blow up box since my mobo actually supports it still. Pretty damn good for a board from 2007/8. Do you recall if you have the 125W or the 145W? I was checking out your 3dMark scroes for your CPU and they were quite impressive considering you're not doing any OCing.

    it's the 125w 965. It should be around 180.00. You can't beat the performance imho.
