I have had issues now with 2 games using my GTX 460, Desus Ex and Diablo 3, the FPS is over 60 but it still runs choppy at some times, both games were unplayable without Vsync turned on. Black Ops and other games such as saints row 3, mass effect 2, however runs fine with or without vsync no lag,

My Rig

Intel i7 920 with Corsair H50

Intel Gaming motherboard ( cant remember model off hand)

6GB Kingston HyperX

2X 1TB WD Black HDD

EVGA GTX 460

other games work fine, i have i have no idea why D3 is not.

in order to make the game playable i have to have my textures on low, both in single and mp. Thoughts?

Well thanks guys. Good to know its not just my rig, figured it was GPU upgrade time..

my rig

Intel i7 920 @ 2.6ghz

intel dx58so

6GB Kingston HyperX

Nvidia EVGA GTX 460

WD Black 650GB HDD

even with settings low i get choppy gameplay, with v sync on i get soild 60FPS but i get random lag spikes, all drivers up to date, frsh install of windows 7 64bit.

would this make a good montior for pc? i am not really into 3D that much but the picture on it looks good, and its on for 299 plus 25$ for each game traded towards it. Would it make a good display for both 3D and non 3D games/movies on my pc?

edit: will be used mostly for non 3D gaming.

i would say hold out because yes the I5 is better but in my oppinion it's not worth the cost of the motherboard and the cpu right now so just wait a year and see what the next range of ivy bridge brings.

I pressume you're building this for gameing as well and cpus factor into gameing but not near as much as a gpu and that is alos another reason i wouldn't upgrade because you allready have a decent one.

i was thinking about upgrading to a i5 quad core build, my current rig is AMD Phenom II X4 965, Foxconn destoryer motherboard, 8GB DDR2, 2x sli gtx 460. Would it be worth my money to go i5, or hold out a year for next cpus
