Hello, I wanted to ask if my CPU (q9300) will not bottleneck my GTS450 ASUS 1GB GDDR5 DirectCU do i need to overclock my q9300 to 3.0Ghz or it will be normal with games like BF3?
 
Solution
No your CPU won't bottleneck a 450GTS. I had a Q9550 and a 460GTX. I did overclock my CPU which helped a little with games. You are nearing the point of a whole system upgrade. I just the same at Thanksgiving.
