actually no, what has been happening more often then not is with a high end card, using a low end GPU for physX actually bottlenecks the more powerful card.
A 580 can do graphics and phsyx faster then a 540 can do the physX.

I Would like to keep the 460 inside the computer for folding anyways. If I get the 660 ti, I should start testing it out, see how much of a frame boost I can get.

So, I've been playing on a labtop for the past few months now and it just decided to start acting up approx 4 days ago. Basically - i've been getting a whole 5 seconds of lag in CSS for no reason with a ping of like 8 for example. I don't know the cause exactly, but I've already done the following:

-Checked my connections (it's a labtop, i know >.>)
-Checked other users in house (not the problem, seeing how i'd experience this when nobody used the other computers nor were there torrents being DLd)
-Restarted my Labtop (multiple times)
-Shut it down completely, wait a couple minutes, then turn it back on (pretty much same as restarting but meh)
-Ran CC Cleaner multiple times
-Done a virus scan (nothing)
-Did a disk defrag

Specs to the labtop are on here : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o03_s00_i00

Guess my question is - any solutions to this or suggestions? Yes, I know we are a gaming community but at the same time, I know there's better Computer Wizs out there than myself.

@Wolfenstinger
Your laptop specs are some of the worst for fps games with decent graphics. When in the server press `or~ key and type cl_showfps 1 and check top right corner for your fps. Anything below 60 fps would make your game choppy and laggy. My only suggestion would be ctrl+alt+delete, start task manager, processes and sort them by cpu, close any applicable processes using alot of cpu.

My 4890 is about to eat shit. I cleaned and reinstalled the drivers twice, downgraded the drivers, basically wasted hours of my life but it still throws out artifacts and blue screens daily. Getting more and more frequent. Soooo, back to Nvidia for me.

been having an issue with my new laptop, it doesn't like to sleep. it'll sleep for 2 seconds, then wake up. every time. one common culprit is the network adapter but that's been ruled out, as has the mouse, keyboard, etc. i have no idea what it could be. also, the only way to make it actually shut down is to hold down the power button til it does so. the regular shutdown just makes it restart. no idea what's going on, any suggestions would be appreciated.

fixed, some kind of toshiba registration pinger service was causing it.

was about to say you should disable wake on lan encase some service is trying to access network resources when you want to sleep.
