I've always tried to keep a general idea of what my trusty old 8800 GTX compares to when a new crop of cards is released. I have it OC'd to 621/1455/1900 (vs. stock 575/1350/1800) and am still using XP on a 1680x1050 monitor. Any ideas?
When I read a review of a new card I'd like to find something in it that I can compare my old card to. At those speeds would it be about like a stock HD 4850 (or am I selling the 8800 GTX short?)? That one still seems to be used a lot in comparisons with new cards. I'm still playing a lot of DX9 RPGs and MMOs, but I'd like to get an idea as to when it would no longer make sense to keep using the old card. With an X4 955 @ 3.4Ghz most games are pretty smooth, but I'd hate to think I'm holding my CPU back too much from what its capable of with "Old Faithful".
