Xfx ati hd 5850 system requirements

Your system is powerful enough for a HD5850.

so my cpu and other specs isnt going to bottleneck the gpu

No, unless you play at a low resolution, Your CPU may bottleneck ever so slightly but nothing to worry about. You have a decent cooler on that CPU so you could overclock it just to make sure there's no bottleneck. Your other spec's are perfectly fine.

what you mean play at a lower res it will bottleneck

i dont know if fraps is very accurate but i tried crysis everthing max 8xaa...i got about 20-35 fps usually hitting 26 fps...1080 res...is that decent for that game...because i heard a lot of people use that game to test out their specs

Don't worry you have good spec...

If your where playing at a res of 1280 x 1024 then your CPU would bottleneck your HD5850's performance, however your playing at 1080P so no worries there, and your Crysis results are good.

really?..i thought performance would worsen when u raise the resolution...why would lowering resolution make it worse?

yes, you get less frames at higher resolutions because the GPU has more pixels to render.

Lets just say that your CPU will bottleneck at 73FPS, your unlikely to get 73FPS in modern games with all the eye candy on at 1080P, so your CPU is unlikely to be a bottleneck, However at lower resolutions there's a much greater chance of your card being able to output 73+FPS but your CPU will bottleneck it.
Its been said that your CPU does more work at lower resolutions, however I don't know if that is true.

In any case if you do have a bottleneck (which i'm 99% sure you won't) then you'd be getting insanely high FPS anyway. So it wouldn't effect game play.

Yeah I agree it's no problem you're good to go.

Just about the bottleneck, I ran FurMark at 1280x1020 and got only 5 fps higher between a single 5850 and CF 5850s. Running at 1920x1080 saw a 90% improvement in fps.
