Is this just benchmarking and bragging power? No, it's an increase in computing power. And your cpu also has a major effect on the graphic system. If you try to power a 280GTX with a Pentium 4 cpu you'll find that your 280GTX performs well below specifications. Whereas a 280GTX paired with a overclocked E9650 will perform above the rated specifications.
oh really? never knew that! thats kwl to knw, but then again it does have the chance of destroying your processor, then try to get a 280gtx to function. lol!
