Will my CPU bottleneck my GFX?
 
I have a friend who uses a faster core2duo CPU and doesn't get bottleneck from I think he uses a 7770 now. So a faster core2duo will be fine, just the one you have is kinda bottom of the core2duo line. You could try overclocking if your motherboard supports it like the guy above suggested.
 


I fail how to see increasing nearly 1Ghz on both of the CPU cores will give little to no improvement. I guess clock speed isn't important even on similar architectures. Had I only known I would of bought the cheapest lowest clocked quad-core CPU instead of the one I can overclock because clock speed does nothing.
 


Oh okay, sorry if I was a bit rude then I just thought you were saying it wouldn't change anything that is a pretty big jump.

I think that he might of already checked the motherboard CPU support list, cause the E8300 isn't the fastest core2duo so I thought that is how he got it.

otman97: if you haven't, make sure you do check the CPU support list and that the E8300 is on it.
