The new patch will cost Nvidia and AMD sales :)

Cheesehawk, I run 2 x Gainward GTX 460 GLH's but as you know only one is being used at the moment in CoD. They are great cards for the price. Since latest patch I run avg 40-45+ fps over land only occasionally dropping to 35s over large towns or down on the deck, and get a constant 48-60 fps over water in a furball. Very little if any stutters except low over London.....even the big boys are getting that. My settings are everything on high except buildings detail low but run them unlimited amount. Usually don't run shadows or grass though. Original textures not the scaled down ones. My CPU is only running at 2.8ghz but is a quad. The good thing about these cards is the scalability when running in SLI if your board supports it. 2 cards together in 90% of games run about 25-30% faster than a single GTX580 which is damn near double the cost of both cards together. So its a great investment to get one now then when SLI arrives you can do a single cheap card addition and get better performance than going the whole hog with a single top-end card.
Oh and your resolution is 2 levels lower than mine so bonus there as well.
