ok, thanks for the scores, I can get an overclocked 8600gts(700/2100mhz) for around $169. Also, kornowski thanks for the website.

IMO you would be better off spending a bit more and getting the 8800GTS.

I'm not a big gamer, and I don't have a lot of money right now, so if i go with a DX10 card, it will most likely be the 8600GTS. THanks omega and everyone else for all the input.

Oh, I was thinking they were under $250, I guess that was just a one time deel.

Thats pretty good, but you have to be able to beat my score with an 8800GTS and a C2D E6300, which got 10,092.

lol thank you for posting omega...i posted to get some comparisons =D
Say I'm trying to break 10000, would overclocking the cpu to 3ghz be enough, or do I have to overclock the video card as well...maybe it's overkill, chances are I'm not gonna oc anything until i need to..(when crysis comes out >_>), because I can run lost planet on full everything in dx10 at 48fps avg according to fraps...hl2 ep1 at 60fps at 1920x1080

I forgot to mention, my CPU was at 3.21Ghz and the GPU was at 660/1980 I believe.
If you overclock to 2.8Ghz you should be able to easily pass 10K.

haha, ya I should have said that in the original post
BTW, it was the 640MB version, since it was back in November. But that doesnt make much of a difference.

after OCing to 3.0ghz...I only see about a 200 point improvement D:
3DMark Score 9573 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 3863 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 3673 Marks
CPU Score 4218 Marks
EDIT: Considering that the OC is forcing me to jump to 1.33v with such minor improvement, I'm probably just gonna go down to 2.8

lol sorry for posting again, but let me suggest that you guys close sidebar when you do this...
Changes from last time, I oc'd video card to 650/1950 (975x2) and closed windows sidebar and aim when I did it this time. brought my score up almost 2000 points.
I'll have to OC my CPU and vid card, so I can beat you and, I didn't turn off sidebar
Competition?

Overall, yes. But who here has the best score for a single-GPU system?
I think I do
