    Do you use Turbocache on your GeForce 8000 series cards? Are there significant improvements (in general or in terms of a specific game)? If so, how much?

    i don't have a 8000 series card, but i do have an older version that has turbocache and yes, i usually just leave it enabled. No harm in leaving it on anyways. basically what it does is draw system memory when it needs it (ie, graphic intensive stuff). I can't say there are significant improvements, but it smooths out the gameplay somewhat.

    Turbocache just happens. You don't get a choice this way or that. ;)
