E2180

[RicciCZ]

Good day
I have C2D E2180 OC 2.0GHz @ 3,2GHz using 1920*1080 display, 4GB 800DDR2@850 and 9600GT which is on a limit nowdays.
I have in plans to upgrade to GTX 560. Will it work good with this OC? or will the relatively old hardware bottleneck that graphic card.
Thanks for help

I have about +-300USD (+-230Euro) for this so not to much. Buying processor for 775 is in my opinion waste of money on the other side i3 with mobo and ram is expensive. Thats why i was thinking about at least gpu upgrade, but as I said I dunno how much can this CPU on 3,2Ghz slow graphics down.

PSU is Corsair 400CX i think that wont be problem at all, PC takes now 160W in load and that PSU can supply 400W whole day and can handle even 480W i chose it responsibly ;-)

Do you know about any review/test which shows how bad cpu afflicts GPU output? I cant find anything
Thx for helping

I mean something like old CPU + new GPU

Yeye i know but some test which prove if it worths money to upgrade only GPU
Now i cant even imagine if it will be 5% drop or 30% drop from i5/i7 reviews of 560GTX

Still, Thank you for answers

OK i found something

http://pctuning.tyden.cz/hardware/graficke-karty/20678-vliv-procesoru-na-herni-vykon-16-kousku-intel-i-amd?start=14

c2d vs i3-i5 and its horrible 30-50% drop with c2d on 3,3GHz vs 2,9GHz i3

so conclusion for those who have same question:
"If you have 30fps with c2d with new gpu you´ll get 50fps but with new platform you can get 70-100fps"
