graphics card/processor help!

Just wanted to add that after setting everything (where it applies) to "application controlled" in CCC and lowering General Draw Quality to 8(standard) from 10(highest) I'm now getting 38-50 fps with max settings...I say max because Ambient Occlusion and Highest General Draw Quality do so little that I couldn't even notice the difference and Depth of Field makes it look worse to me so it's like 99% as good as it gets visually with 38-50 fps which I'm completely happy with considering how inexpensive my rig is in case you wanted to go with something cheaper like the HD 6770 $118 shipped or $97 after rebate.

Also, look at cores 1, 3, 5, 7, those are physical cores, 2, 4, 6, 8 are logical cores, so it's putting hte load pretty evenly between the 4 processors. Seems pretty balanced to me...
