My friend is upgrading his graphics card on his PC from a nvidia 620 to a 760. His chip set is the Intel B75. His motherboard has 2 small pcie slots and 1 big pcie slot. Will is gpu be bottle necked at all?
 
Solution
The x16 PCIe slot is connected directly to the CPU so the chipset makes absolutely no difference. How much performance he can get out of a 760 depends entirely on his CPU and the games he plays.
