I'm using a backup rig since my main rig bit the dust. It's a Pentium D 820 2.8, 1 GB, ECS nForce 570 SLI, 8800 GTS. I seem to get pretty crappy FPS (15-45) while playing Insurgency (source mod). Is it because this board caps my 8800 at 8x link width?

I don't think limiting you to 8x is really hurting you. It is probably that processor...

EDIT: Oh, I got it. He meant to say "Clock that Pentium D or else". I understand now :p

He also says your CPU is your bottleneck. :beer:
