My PC is not a gaming PC in the sense that does not have a GPU that will run games in playable frame rates, other than that is a DX11 GPU that will run any game in any setting
Was xbox 360 based on a 9800 pro of 2003 ?
No, it was based on a 8800GTX of 2006
I would change out the 2gb GTX 680 and get a overclocked 4gb GTX 670.
You get the same performance while have more memory
