ASUS Geforce GT 440 Bottlenecking Phenom II X6 1045T?

[sambam321]

Not getting as good frames as I was expecting, and I'm getting a new Video card in two weeks, but just for reference, is the GT 440 Bottlenecking my CPU?

Yes, the GT440 is the problem.

Yes, the GT440 is the problem.

Thanks for the confirmation. Does someone know the projected frames I'd get if I got the GTX 560 Ti? Or would that be another bottleneck? I'm trying to make a leveled system. Current specs are
Gigabyte GA 78LMT Mobo
Phenom II X6 1045T @2.7Ghz
ASUS Geforce GT 440 @822MHz
(3) 4Gb Kingston HyperX Blu @1333MHz
32Gb SSD
(2) 1TB Hdds @7200RPM

The 1045T is a very strong CPU, and only really becomes a bottleneck until you have GPUs like the 7870 or more powerful. Just get the best you can get for your budget. The GTX560Ti is far better than the GT440 and you will get a lot better performance.

Oh yeah, I know that. I was wondering if the 560TI was going to be a bottle neck on the CPU/ I want to get the best Card that will run well along side my 1045T

Around the level of the 7870 is the best you'll go un bottlenecked.

It depends on the game settings and personal preferences. If you dial down detail to get a high frame rate, then the CPU will be a problem sooner than if you like to crank up the eye candy at the expense of a lower frame rate.

I'm going for best settings possible at 1920x1080. I think I'm going to go with the 560Ti like said before because it only has a passmark score .6 lower than the 7870 and I like Nvidia more.

Just for future reference, Passmark is not a very good benchmarking site. A better site would be Anandtech of any Tomshardware articles.

560ti is not as strong as the 7870.
If you want to go Nvidia, but want the best you can go, try the GTX 660.

Sorry, I meant benchmark. I used Gpuboss.com. I plan to make this system a leveled out one and sell it to a friend for easy profit because he doesn't know how to overclock and has very limited knowledge of computers. He just wants something that will run his favorite game; Skyrim. So the 560Ti will do well I believe. Thanks for all your help guys
