E5700 CPU

[tom5001]

Hey,

I'm probably going to buy the Sapphire HD 7750 soon for gaming, but I was wondering, is my CPU (Pentium (R) Dual-core 3GHZ E5700 CPU) going to restrict my gameplay, or give me any issues with this card? I'll be hoping to play games like Arma II, Battlefield etc

Thanks.

depends on what resolution you are playing at...if you play at a higher res the gpu will be the one choking...if this was a build you put together yourself then you could try and overclock the cpu a little bit to ease your mind..if I remember right the pentium dual cores oc'ed pretty good...but otherwise I think you will be fine at stock settings with that gpu

I'll be playing at 1024 X 768 most of the time.

I think your cpu would be fine for that video card....if you are feeling adventurous you could try a little overclocking on ur cpu even if you have a stock cooler...as long as your system isnt a pre built one from HP or dell or something like that.
