Solution Aeronautics Jul 22, 2013 It will bottleneck in CPU intensive games but theoretically, an I3 would not give so much bottleneck that the games wouldn't be playable. see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_hps7TV4d0 an I3 competes for quad cores of AMD in its price range quite well. as for the new I3-4330, it will be clocked 3.5ghz so the bottleneck will be less. the GPU used in the video is a 7950 which is a little behind the 760.
