oh Hey guys and girls,

Looking to possibly upgrade from my gtx 460 to the new gtx 680 and wanted to know if my system would cause any bottlenecks if i did. no point in getting a good graphics card if i can't use all the power after all.

current setup as follows

Processor: i7 950 @ 3.1GHz
Memory: Dominator GT 6gb
motherboard: Asus X58 Sabertooth
powere: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w

haf x case with plenty of fans but these new cards seem to run nice and cool.

oh and i'm running a Dell U2711 at 2560 x 1440 when possible but as you can imagine I have to lower that to get half decent fps in a fair few games

Cheers for any help :D

thanks for all the feedback people, good to hear it shouldn't be much of a problem, just need to wait for prices to drop a little or for more cheaper cards in the family to be released and i'm good to go. shame my 460 runs so hot or i would have keept it in as a physx card.
