Nice to know that a GPU upgrade does, in practice, make so great a difference even when other components aren&#39;t the absolutely latest and greatest. Relevant for me, as a little more than a year ago I upgraded my main box with a GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, a Phenom II X 4 955 processor, a FSP650-80EGN PSU, and 16 GB RAM, but retained an ancient GeForce 7900 GTX GPU. I&#39;ve been looking for a good deal on a GTX 660, but now that AMD has released a driver that seems to work decently with Linux OSs, I&#39;m thinking of widening my search. Good to learn that such an upgrade would have significant (positive) effects !...</p> <p>Henri</p>
