Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy a second XFX 7970 to crossfire them up.
However, after reading several forums regarding bottlenecks I'm still not sure whether my cpu will bottleneck it or not.

My specs:
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 1.0
AMD FX8320 @ 4,3ghz
Kingston hyperx 8GB DDR3 1600

Could someone with more knowledge of crossfire/sli please help me out?

A very big thank you in advance!

Highly unlikely for most things. I wont pretend to know the extremely complex details as to why, so ill go with the general knowledge. In most games, your CPU wont be significantly burdened by the games demands, so adding a heavier GPU load will slightly increase it, but not to the point you will notice it. If you were using a Sempron 145, id be blowing whistles, but a 8320 should be fine.
