will my cpu limit an 8800

[Sethanis]

I want to run all current and future games at 60 fps with max settings, and id like to know if my CPU will be able to run a 8800 at 60 fps??

Anything more then that will be a waste of resources with my monitor at 60Hz. Games like Crysis and CnC3 and Supream Commander

that AMD64 x2 4600+ would bottle neck a 8800gtx, but depending on what resolution you plan a playing i dont think you would have a problem runing your games at 60fps

Yes.

Pretty much all CPUs hold back the 8800. A 4600+ is a solid CPU. Won't be a problem.

looking for 1920x1200 with everything on MAX

Like the rest said it will bottle neck your card, i got an E6400 and 8800GTS and when at stock speeds of 2.13ghz i got 11k in 3dmark05 when i OCed the E6400 to 3.2ghz giving me 400mhz FSB i got 17k in 3dmark05 thats a whopping 6k difference.

At those resolution, the 8800 will eat up games alive.

Enjoy your gaming.

Please stop using a 3 year old benchmark to compare performance. Tell us about gaming performance!

What do i need to tell you? i get 100FPS in batttlefield 2, 60-70 in company of heros, and 100+ in HL 2/CS:S, im not going to bother running it on 1066 snice i have already OCed..... i just used 3dmark05 because its fast and can give u an estimate.

I think you missed Prozac's point, RobX2.

He's saying that ANYTHING will bottlneck an 8800, so pretty much any CPU will work well with it.

Basically he was indicating that 3dmark scores aren't that important.
I don't think he was commenting on anyone's e-penis...

It will eat games alive except Oblivion at that res, which will probably dip pretty low on FPS in outdoor area.
