Hello, I have a question. Will a stock Q6600 bottleneck a HD 7850 1gb or 7790 1gb severely? One game that I am looking forward to playing is Metro: Last Light, and in this benchmark test ( http://www.techspot.com/review/670-metro-last-light-performance/page6.html ) it says that the 7790 can get 28fps on High @ 1080p, while in the CPU section, the AMD Athlon II X4 640 (they didn't benchmark the q6600, but I think that is the closest-performing processor they had) bottlenecked a Titan to 28 fps on High @ 1080p. Does this mean, if paired with a 7790, they would be equivalently powered and there would be no bottleneck (since both are only capable of 28fps)?

i have q6600 (3.0 Ghz OC), 4gb ram ddr 800, hd 7790 1gb, and i play metro last light on high with 30+ FPS
i don't know what hardware is weaker....graphic card or cpu ... or my 4gb ram is the bottleneck
