Hello all:

I'm thinking of upgrading from my current GeForce GTX 470 GPU to the 480.

Win7/64
Intel i7 975 Extreme @ 3.33 GHz
12 GB RAM
1200w modular PSU

Could I expect any appreciable performance increase (note:

Overclock your CPU, that will give you a lot more performance increase than upgrading from a GTX470 to a GTX480 ever will.
