    Nope. I've never heard the term before in my life. Okay "switch" is the windows term for command options/modifiers/arguments. Got it.

    So...back to the suggestion.

    Bryan, are you talking about the environmental "SWAN_SYNC=0". Yes, I have that set. Or were you talking about something else?

    Yeh, I think that was the one. I didn't pay a lot of attention to it since I don't have any Fermis but it was mentioned multiple times.

    I couldn't swing the GTX 580 so I picked this one up. http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6528208&CatId=3669

    Don't know what I will put it on yet but I have 3 PCI-e slots in my XFX nForce 78i 3-way SLI board. 1 slot has a gts 260 card and I think I will just put the new one in this case with a q6600 and 4 gb of 1066 ram. I am overclocked to 2.88 right now and I think I can go a bit higher without cranking up the voltage. The card can also be overclocked more then it is. We will see what it will do next week. I should have it Monday.

    No I didn't look at your chart. I guess I might have been better off getting the 465. On the other hand I will have to see what the 460 does on Folding @ Home since that is what I run on my gpu cards.
