Just wondering if it is possible that my CPU is now TOO powerful for my GPU...I currently have a TERRIBLE ATI Radeon HD 4290 (on board) (also i just ordered a 6870) and was wondering if it is possible that my CPU overclocked to 4.1 ghz has become too powerful for this card. Everything is running stable and at good temps seeing how i just tested for the past 12 hours. But when i went into WoW i noticed that the game was running much better but it almost made it laggty and i was wondering if that had anything to do with my GPU?

no the clocks of your cpu are fine and when you get your 6870 you will a noticible improvement...
