I hate to spam the forums with stupid questions, but I have to ask, will oc'ing to 4.8 make a noticeable difference? Thanks.

Performance improvements are most noticeable when you move from low performance to acceptable performance. For instance, if you currently achieve say 13 FPS in your worst-case-scenario and this is visibly low performance to you, overclocking your CPU another 300MHz may bump you up to 15 FPS or more which might be *just enough* to produce a more fluid motion and thus alleviate your performance concerns. I almost always recommend overclocking one's system as much as possible while still maintaining stability, so if you can hit 4.8GHz without causing crashes I say go for it!

If you look through the FSXMARK11 thread, you will notice a trend. On the SB chips with a GTX 580, you are looking at about 1 FPS per 100 MHz - 1-3 FPS.What I found:@3.8 GTX 570 [email protected] GTX 580 [email protected] GTX 480 [email protected] GTX 460SE 39fps - this one looks out of placeIf you are getting low fps, every frame counts, after 30 though, does 31 matter considering the extra heat and fan noise.
