Bottleneck an 8800GT?

[partialsum]

The GT is supposed to be a pretty substantial graphics card and I was wondering if it will bottleneck in my system. Kind of a dumb question cause I'm already using a stock GTS, which is a pretty good card in its own right.

My system is based on an Intel e6750 at the stock 2.66 Ghz and 2 GB of dual-channel ram (800). Don't know if anything else makes an impact, but a P5k board and 520w psu are in it. I ask because I am going to step-up my GTS to the GT. I'm also just curious about this "bottlenecking" phenomenon and if there is a general rule to follow to know if it will, or is, occurring.

I would say that set of components are quite evenly matched and the bottleneck would depend on what game / app you are running.

The only bottleneck you are experiencing is in your wallet.
You already paid the penalty premium for running out and buying 8800GTS. No since spending more money on an evenly matched card now.

Oh no I'm not buying another card. Step-up: http://www.evga.com/stepup/default.asp?switch=3
