I know that asking about CPU/GPU bottlenecking is grossly oversimplifying a hotly debated topic, but I am asking in the broadest, most general, sweeping terms:
Can a 2.6GHz Northwood fully utilize an X1950 PRO, or is the card too strong? This is an AGP 8x bus we're talking about, not the PCI-e.
If the answer is no, the CPU is not fast/strong/robust enough for that card, then what about a 7600GT? Is that better matched?
I decline to provide other details because this is more or less a theory/numbers/benchmarks question, lol. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for the help.
