Hey community,

So I have a 5770 lying around not being used, and it is currently better than some of the cards in my systems (which I will post). I am wondering if the 5770 will be bottlenecked by the processor in either of me spare computers. I would like to use it, and would most likely put it into my 1st spare build. Then I would move the 8800GT into the other build, and retire the old 9600GSO.

Gaming/Main Rig
-Phenom II 965BE @3.4GHz
-ASUS M4A785-M
-HIS Radeon 6950 2GB (reference)
-WD Caviar Black 500GB (x2)
-Ultra LSP 750w PSU
-Wintec AMP-X 800MHz RAM (4GB)
-Happague WinTV Tuner

-Win7 64-bit

Spare 1
-Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @2.4GHz
-Asus A8MZN-LA
-Nvidia 8800GT (reference)
-WD Caviar 320GB
-Dynex 520W PSU
-Wintec AMP-X 800MHz RAM (4GB)
-Stock HP enclosure

Spare 2 (yes, its old, but built from the ground up with spare parts)
-Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @2.0GHz
-Asus A8MZN-LA
-XFX Geforce 9600GSO
-WD Caviar 200GB
-CM eXtreme 500W PSU

Laptop

Any opinions anyone?

Thanks

Yes, the 5770 will be bottlenecked by your spare 1 & 2, but so what...you will still see additional graphic performance from it and it's all that matter, right? If you have to buy new 5770 then yes, it would not be worth it but hey you already have it, better than it lying around collecting dust
