So I have a 8150 in my PC and I was thinking of buying a radeon 7950. The 7950 is a great card and I was wondering would a 8150 bottleneck a 7950? Thanks.

They also said that my Phenom II x4 would bottleneck BF3, yet i was able to run it on near-max settings (except AA) @ 50fps, using a Geforce GTX460 SE, point being any modern CPU with at-least 4 cores @ 3GHz or more with the right card shouldnt be a problem. games today are MUCH more reliant on the GPU anyway to a point. (if your CPU is a quad-core and atleast 3GHz... your fine..)

Yes. 8350 is acceptable but a 8150 will hold a 7950 back. In CPU heavy games such as BF3 MP, GW2, Hitman, you will get less than ideal FPS.

That is tested with a 580, a 7950 is quite a bit faster.

Then there are game that will just suck.

In some games you will be fine but in a couple you will have problems.
