q6600 bottleneck a 5850 or 5870?

just wondering if i were to upgrade my graphics card, would a my Q6600 @ 2.7 ghz bottleneck either the 5850 or 5870?

thanks

excellent

If you get a half-decent cooler for that Q6600 you should be able to get a good 3.2Ghz out of it easily!

actually i doubt you will really be bottlenecking any single gpu in the near future, like many have said just overclock to get a little more performance.

so no i dont think it will bottleneck.

and the phenom II quads sure wont bottleneck.

so no worry on that. unless your trying to Xfire 58## cards..

[QUOTE="faysal_ha"][QUOTE="ssaadd123"]Yes anything running at 2.7 Ghz will bottleneck a 5870

Can someone give an estimate of how many FPS I would achieve in games if I OC from 2.4Ghz to 3.0Ghz?

(I have an Intel Q6600 and am planning on buying the HD 5850.)

With my old 8800 GTS 512 I got an increase of around 7 ~ 8 FPS when I OC my Q6600 from stock to 3.0 Ghz. Not sure if its gonna be more or less with a HD5850 though.

q6600 will not bottleneck that and is still good for a while yet with a nice o.c

What??? Thats completly wrong, an I7 920 runs at 2.66, and judging by your logic that bottlenecks a 5870, yeh sure maybe *sarcasm*

yeah i think the q6600 may start to bottleneck if your plan to xfire the 5870s, but not a single card.. no.

It shouldn't. And inform your sig that I am not running FireFox.

seriously doubt it

lol this thread was from a long time ago, i ended up getting my 5850, and pushed the overclock on my Q6600 from 2.7ghz to 3.0ghz.

You can under clock your Q6600 and not bottle neck it. I don't even think people know what bottle necking is.

The only bottleneck I have EVER seen so far with modern CPU's and GPU's is Multi-GPU systems where the CPU can not process data from both cards.

bottlenecking is a real thing

most often it happens when you have a really good graphics card but your cpu sucks bad. or u have a great cpu, but ur graphics card sux bad. it's harder to tell what's bottlenecking ur system when ur cpu and gpu are close to a good pair for eachother.

a q6600 is still a very good cpu, especially when overclocked to 3ghz. if u get any slowdown with a 3ghz q6600, your graphics card is probably the bottleneck.

You're first score is with one 8800.

:D I was wondering if someone would find it without me trying to pick a fight with this guy nice find Risc-vs-cisc XDmarcthpro

I didn't even look at his score's at first,I could care less about 3Dmark.

You are wrong. I just overclocked my Q6600 from stock to 3.2Ghz and it did almost nothing in terms of increase the shader output.

:| BOTH tests were ran using BOTH cardssuperclocked

Liar why did you change the scores and its still with one 8800 vs SLI or you just dramatically underclocked them on the first test considering one 8800GTS OC can go past 8000 sm.

Riddicules nonsense,I wonder if you have ever benchmarked a game in your life.CPU pci-e sync does overclock your vid cards as you increase the fsb Async will "unlink" your fsb from the pci-e freq and you should have done this.
