Hello, recently upgraded my CPU from AMD PHENOM 1055t x2x6 to AMD FX 8350 and wow I feel like the upgrade unleashed the graphics card 7970 that I had in with the 1055t. The performance and visuals are quite outstanding compared to what it was before. I hear the term bottleneck and I seem to think that was what was going on with the last CPU can someone please explain. thank you....

Unless you have have a situation that can really use that power of two 7970's I'd avoid it. If you aren't using 3+ monitors or pushing insane resolutions 1x 7970 is plenty. I would say two 7970's on a 8350 probably would push it near its limits in terms of what graphic power it could output.

^1 to both above posters they are both correct. Graphic cards currently are very much more powerful then most non modern CPU's and so they need a bit more power behind it to get it rolling.The 8350 most deff would showcase a larger leap for yourself.
