    with that pc no idea why you bought a 8800 gtx at all.

    but it could be overheating.. massive bottlenecking?

    what do you get in the stress test?

    why do you have no idea why he bought the 8800? Unneccessarily critical I feel...for one that's not a particularly bad spec and two he might be upgrading the rest of it later.

    lol no on your monitor you should be getting about 300fps on cs:s lol

    165 on stress test is rubbish for that card. i get 230 with my GTS maxed @ 1680x1050

    ok..my systems better but damn lol

    I think it is probably your mobo and ram bottlenecking the GTX the 4600 x2 should be fine. Have you checked that any crossfire options are disabled in the bios? and try putting the fan on 100% aswell. Gd Luck with getting it sorted.
