all cpu's bottleneck all gpu :P would u liek to see my 2600k with voodoo 5000 benchmarks?? i happily will where it runs better in every synthetic they can test vs a nehealm quad i7??[QUOTE="WyattDerp"]You are definitely due for an upgrade. I wouldn't recommend upgrading your video card unless you also do the CPU (and subsequently the mobo)... Your CPU will bottleneck anything much more powerful.ionusX
his cpu if it was overclocked (cause core 2's pc really well) can hit 2.8ghz with ease and then he could probably handle cards like hd 7770 and gtx 460 SE
For a high end system (lets use a i7 2600K and a GTX 680 as an example), the GPU is the bottleneck. However, his CPU is old enough that it will be the limiting factor. Once he goes beyond a certain caliber of graphics cards, he wont get any better performance.
