    Of course, it wouldn't run it on super high resolutions, thats what the SLI is for. On 1024x768 it would run with all settings maxed out at good frame rates.

    Well, I can't upgrade because the money for the new system comes from selling the old one and if I'm getting a new system, might as well get a Core 2 Duo :p.

    EDIT: And as for oblivion, I hope it runs it better than my current system... my videocard is so bad that turning HDR on doesn't make it any slower because it's already going at 17FPS at 10x7...

    I think that's mainly due to the slower DDR2 memory of ur 6800 card, compared to the 6800GT/XT's DDR3 memory.

    Yes... Also because the memory is 128-bit and only runs at 270 mhz or 540DDR(!!). It's pathetic. I can't wait to get all this new stuff my system will be almost 2x as fast.
