Is my CF setup being bottlenecked?

[melonpaste]

Hello,

I was wondering if my CPU is bottlenecking my 5870's. I actually get a FPS reduction and/or stutter in many games I play. The only games that I have had improvement with were Dirt 3, Shogun 2, and Empire Total War.

I could overclock my CPU a bit more but I will need some cooling.

The stuttering can be the famous micro stutter everybody is talking about, it is not a bottleneck. By the way AMD does not support triple channel only dual or single, so your ram is running in single! (maybe the cause for stuttering)
