I would think that anything over 3 GHz would be able to keep up. You seem to be in fine shape.

4Ghz Core 2? Should be fine. Is it a quad or dual core though?

Given that whatever Core 2 Quad Extreme you have, running it a 4.0GHz should not bottleneck the HD 6990.

You had better read these two articles before you think of using the 2 cards together in one rig...

Now, that would really make me think about a lot of things.....
Are the bragging rights worth the work this Quadfire setup will do on a 17'' Monitor?

Oh yeah 7970's were bottlenecked by the 3960x at low resolutions so this might be a complete waste to you if you aren't playing LARGE!
