GTX 275 be bottlenecked by C2Duo 3.0?

I have a Core 2 Due e6400 2.13 oc'ed to 3.0 with a 9800 gtx oc'ed 20%.

Id like to upgrade to a GTX 275, but im wondering if my cpu would hinder this upgrade? Im thinking it wouldnt....

Any ideas? These new i7's are way too new/overpriced right now for me to do all this.

Also, would my 750mhz (as it has to be clocked at becuz of multipliers) DDR2 sticks hinder this upgrade?

Opinions please...

 

not so much.

Except in cpu bound games, like GTA4, redfaction gureilla, ut3, etc... similar games that benefit more from a quad.

Maybe try to push to 3.2-3.4ghz it looks a like a sweet spot for most games.. and get another 2gb i saw some great boosts when i went from 2 to 4gb..

edit: and 450w psu will be a bit to weak :nerd: lol

 

i got a 15-20% increase in framerates pretty much across the board with my 260 going from an E6400@3.55Ghz to a Q9550@4 Ghz.

Yep, id say its probably bottlenecked( depends what resolution you play at though )

 

a q6600 can bottleneck a 8800GTX

 

okay so there is a bottleneck. and i need more ram. and my 450 psu isnt going to cut it. this is going from 200 bucks to way up there

 

it depends greatly on the resolution you're running, the higher the less the CPU bottlenecks.

 

it will bottleneck

 

it won't bottleneck the card,but your ram will cause some performance decrease.get an extra 2gb of ram and a better psu.atleast 550w and you be fine.

 

I'd say you need a new CPU (get a Q9505 if the Q9550 is too expensive for you) and 2 more GB of RAM.

Well, most sensible thing to upgrade would be PSU and ram... Just get those now, and get the gpu later.

 

That's called bottleneck my friend.

 

i'd get a new power supply and a gtx275 . the 275 will be made the limitation if you want it to be .


make the upgrade after that cpu/motherboard and ram.
