Check a wide range of forum classifieds more often then

Ahah! That's cheating. Unless you can find a 2600K in there.

really? funny you should say that because I run BC2 totally maxed (im talking 32X CSAA) and my FPS never dips below 60FPS the system in my sig...

Yeah, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Three of us grabbed 460/470's and two of us had terrible GPU usage, while one of us played along just happily. IIRC, cpu's were two Q9550's and one Q9300.

Fermi issues: Low GPU Usage and Bad Company II Stuttering

Apparently, an upcoming driver will be released that stops the stuttering/low usage on older cpu's. Older, lol... Pretty crappy for some folks though. They've been dealing w/ this for months.

Wow, that sucks. Who'd know... And I was advising some Core 2 users to buy Fermi cards...

They sure have taken their time with that "GTX 460 fix" driver.... been a while since nvidia has waited this long between releasing even a beta driver. At times we were flooded with a new beta driver like a couple of times a week, it's been a month+ now? It better be good once it's released. :p
