Hi there guys. I have had this system for a while now. Just went out and bought a 120hz Monitor and the Nvidia 3d vision kit. As I sit right now I can run Fallout 3 COD4 all on high graphics no AA, and they run smooth. In FO3 out in the open the 3d seems to drag the system way down but inside it runs fine. But now that I have spent too much money on 3D I might as well spend more money to make it work well. I don’t want to have to buy a new system, if I don’t have to. I would like to reuse what I can. I was thinking about getting another 9800, and an SLI motherboard and putting them in SLI but there seem to be better options out there. Can I over clock my video card? Will I notice any difference? I’m going to be doing some more research after I post it. Here is my system. Some of the parts where Xmas gifts so. . . Ya. . . Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor CPU Cooling: COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-LB12-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASUS M3N78-EM AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Video Card: BFG Tech BFGE98512GTXPOCBE GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 System Memory: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) TWIN2X4096-6400C5 Power Supply: Antec 750w Hard Drive Set 1: 2x Western Digital Raptor WD360ADFD 36GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA - Raid 0 Hard Drive Set 2: 1x Western Digital 320GB (Storage) Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) With Windows 7 Upgrade Coupon |

My opinion on over clocking Video cards is that it doesn't help a whole lot and truly not noticble and a waste of money if you buy it that way. CPU OC on the other hand is well worth the money and/or time. SLi 2x9800 1gb would be an improvement or upgrade to a much newer video card as well. Also with 2 video cards you need to make sure your PSU will handle the load. Just my thoughts.
