Will the 3870 x2 OC edition be bottelnecked on my PC?

hi, I have a question

i just bought the GECUBE HD 3870 x2 OC edition and was just wondering if it will be bottelnecked by my system.

my current system is

Athlon II 620 @ 3.2 GHz
6GB DDR3 RAM
MSI 770 C45 motherboard

thank you in advance

It should run pretty good because of your decent clock speed. The 3870x2 still runs pretty good on my friends rig w/ a 9850 phenom 1 @ 2.5 Ghz. It does run better on my Phenom 2 965 @ 3.9, though.

so it might be a little bit bottlenecked on my system!

does any one know the dimensions of it?, cannot find it any where

but why are you buying / using a 3870x2 .. uses alot of power, produces alot of heat and no more powerful than a 5770

actually according to this it is on the same level as a 4850/5750:

also after a quick google search, it is 10.5 inches (26.5cm long)

I just needed a descent gpu for less than £50 as i will have to leave my pc in 4 months time as iam going to uni.
thanks for the size

It will work just fine, I know this card both the Gecube and the reference design. The one complaint is the pci-e switch.
