Is My CPU A Bottleneck for my GPU?

[Ronny Chan]

Hi,
I wanted to know wether or not my CPU is a bottleneck/too weak compared to my GPU.

System Specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2.70Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 630
Memory: DDR3 2GB + 1GB
PSU: 500 Watts
Motherboard: Foxconn Eton G41 (CPU Socket: LGA 775)

No, your GPU really isn't that strong. They won't bottleneck each other.

Okay thanks, alot of my friends say my CPU is too weak, so do you recomend a better one?
BTW I was using the low-end card Radeon HD 4350 before this card so this card is relatively much stronger

Personally, I don't think your upgrade options are worth it.
