Question?

Post by BLYFACTOR »

Is the Intel e8400 @ 3ghz
and ATI 5670 1GB a bottleneck?

For the CPU? Yeah. The 5670 is slower than the 4770 if I recall, and significantly slower than the 5750, and both cards are on the very far side of weak. The bottleneck would be on the side of "noticeable" but not groundbreaking. Don't expect to see 85-100% CPU utilization in many games. Any reason you are asking? I'd look around for a 5770 if you need a card quickly. Can be found for ~120 or less depending on where you look, and can easily play BF3 medium mixed with high. I assume this is for BF3.

Well I just wanted to know if it was.

I have a 6950 and I thought it would be a less of a bottleneck.
So I decided to put it back in the computer and it got pretty hot and 50Degrees celcius consitently.

The 6950 easy cooled. (Game patch is boss)-randomness

anyways I put my 6950 back in. Just played some OP Firestorm this morning after patch and I seen fixes.
