Great thread since it's giving me lots of video upgrade ideas.. Should be a sticky..

Anyways, here's mine.. Still I haven't found the solution to get my GPU to identify properly in System Profiler, although everything seems to be running fine.. Any tips for that?

MSI N250GTS

woooww... link your model gtx480?

It is a reference NVIDIA 480, got it directly from them.

Funny how i get only 20ish in cinebench with it, and around 29 with the Quadro.

The thing is i don't realize why there's such difference between the i7-920 and i7-875. They do not differ that much in frequency, and even if i disable the turbo and put them both on the same frequency, i get quite different results.
