Have you thought about overclocking your i7. 3.8GHz is quite easily achievable with a Titan Fenrir, and will net you a good amount of PPD. Oh and welcome to the family by the way.... Fold on!
yeah i have thought about overclocking the 920... posted a thread bout it in the hardware section as i have no clue as to how to go about doing so
If you can afford to switch to a GTX 460. It pretty much destroys the 5770 for ppd and rivals it for gaming performance.
