BFG GTX 295 Question.

[mammothmoth]

I had the BFG GTX 280 then they released the 285 and the 295. I traded my card up to the 295 and it's on it's way right now (Should be here in 2-3 weeks).

My question is if there will be any bottleneck with adding that card. Heres my specs.

Mobo: Asus Maximus 2 Formula
CPU: Intel Q9550 quadcore @ 2.83Ghz
PSU: Ultra X3 1000-Watt
RAM: Corsair 4x2Gigs DDR2-800
O/S: Windows Vista Ultimate x64

Will I have any problems and will I need to overclock anything?

I also have a question as to cooling. I have a Antec 1200 case and on the side of the case there is a place where you can add a extra fan. That would be nice becuase thats exacually beside my graphics card that i'll be getting. I need to find a really good fan thats 120mm. It doesnt have to be quiet at all because I will be getting a fan controller and I was also thinking of getting a fan behind the other fan in the second bay.

Any advice?

not at all.

no there won't be, My recommendation would be to get the cpu to 3.0 or 3.2 to play it safe. There have been some games that have been known to be bottlenecked, even the 4870 X2 has been known to bottleneck in some games.

What resolution do you play at?

+1 no issues, but I agree with L1qu1d OC ur cpu to at least 3.0-3.2 or more.
