Is my gpu bottlenecking my 6870 crossfire?

I been wondering if my phenom II x4 @ 3.1 ghz are bottlenecking my 6870s. I had them for a while, but it's been bugging me if they are. So, I dont mind overclocking my cpu if they are bottlenecking.

I'm sure you have a bit of a bottleneck there, nothing too severe. Try overclocking your CPU to 3.4ghz+ and see what kind of performance you get.

Opps meent cpu in the title my bad guys.. I kinda mess up on the cpu, gpu, psu lingo. Srry bout that again. /facepalm

Thx you guys fro your help.. ocing my processor to 3.4 gave me a little bit more out of my video cards.

Good. Now go higher! :D

Is your cpu the 955? Mine runs perfectly fine at 3.8ghz for the last year and 1/2. AutoPilotOn

Mine is not, mine is the 555 I unlocked the cores, but i been planning to upgrade to the one you have or the x6. Also, I would go higher if I water cooled my cpu. :D

Alright thx you I will wait, and I wasnt planning on upgrading for like 5 months unless something happens to my processors. Thx you guys again

[QUOTE="C_Rule"] Not really worth going with a Phenom II, now, unless you're on a really tight budget. Wait for Bulldozer, or go Sandy Bridge. C_Rule

Oh lol...

Seeing this thread, I'm afraid that my C2D E4500 will also bottleneck my upcoming GPU (GTX 560 Ti). :?

Meh you'll be fine. Upgrading at this point is only for e-peen/benchmarks.

I'm planning to get a new one, but won't be soon. By the time, to keep things on the run, I may OC it to 2.7GHz. I heard it was possible since I already put up a thread on it and my friends told me that I can OC it to 2.7GHz with stock coolers. Any objections?
