Will I get more performance upgrading to a GTX 680?

Geeez that sux. I would imagine the 3930K to eat it for breakfast. I couldn't believe how shoddy FSX looked with everything turned up max with SLI 680s and a 2500K @ 4.6. I knew it was CPU dependant but that was bad.

Try x plane - amazing graphics! 5760 is also ssooooo much easier to set up and use :D

Aren't you running 3930k and crossfire 7970 lightnings?

And that struggles with X Plane 10 :confused:

Yep - it's hugely crippling. Mind you, I haven't tried with my 4.5ghz OC yet due to a lack of time. Also, I'm using 3 monitors as opposed to 1080p

There needs to be something to monitor when your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU.

I wonder how bad my Q9450 @ 3.3ghz will bottleneck the 7850?

Not too much I wouldn't think :)
 
I will give that a look when I have time Cleee. I have games at the moment I have not even played :( Dishonored is pretty decent but only played 30 mins of it :( Civ 5 is the game I can't put down...Just one more go, just one more go :D

As you say Graphics are superb,not used it for a while as having probs with
it when first released.

I believe theres been a hell of a lot of patches/upgrades ?

Must re-install and give it another whirl
 
Good im glad it wont slow it down that much :)

Dishonored is good but way too easy, im on very hard and its ****.

I suppose if you play when you dont kill anyone its much harder but that takes away so much fun, i maybe go again with no killing my next run through the game, but only 10 sleep darts? Its kinda tough.

Run afterburner during a game. Usually (though not always), if the gpu utilization is below 99%, then you are being held back by the cpu. Bottom line, though, is even if you are held back, as long as the frame rate is acceptable for you, then that's ok.
