is pointless. stranger is telling you to test if your cpu is bottlenecking your card. Do what he suggested, and youll know if it is. I didnt think a 8x would bottleneck that card. Some of the highest cards I recall it definately does a lil, tho not much, but...

can i get a good one for $280? Nvidia boards can't run crossfire, only sli. 700s Nvidia boards will not bottleneck graphics cards, buy may bottleneck cpu overclocking due to fsb limits. 780i runs at 1333mhz natively, and can reliably oc to 1600mhz. This...

because my MB is 2x/4x AGP and can't get the full advantage/speed outta my new 8x card? 2. Is my crickety old CPU bottlenecking my card? 3. Does my power supply need to be bigger? The manual recommends 450w, but I seem to be running fine w/ 400w and not having...

Don't want to bottleneck. I am looking to buy a motherboard/cpu memory combo for my gtx 260 and i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what boards would be good so is to not bottleneck my video card. Btw, I am looking for something on the intel...

4770 ati also will my micro board bottleneck as I read that is not actually pci 2.0 but newegg said it is. and my stock q9550 won't give any bottleneck i presume ? :) or should i just get 5770 since i love x770 cards? :p also why 5770 is not...

highest end cards would be slowed by running on your board. If you are going to have a bottleneck with this board its likely going to be CPU. I had a Rev.3.3 of that board with an E-6600 in it and was very happy with it. I sold it to a friend and its still...

I say no. Go with one and you'll be very happy over your old cards. :non: What kind of processor do you guys suggest I get with a K9A Platinum board? Would it be easy to put in, or would I have to replace the entire board? If it's gonna bottleneck the cards,...

this? Yeah - the PCI-e x16 1.0 will seriously bottleneck the card - you may loose a whole 0.1% in performance The CPU will bottleneck it long before the PCI-E bus does. The 9800 GX2 doesn't start bottlenecking until PCI-E 2.0 x4, which has the same bandwidth...

systems are the bottlenecks in the efficienty of your network. You may have the controllers to handle the throughput, but your systems bus won't be able to handle that much information which causes the bottleneck. Its odd for someone to also call IDE equipment...

the MB; based on it only has a x4 PCI-e that would DEFINITELY bottleneck your GFX card. Bad news. Your board seems to have an AGP port which support neither the HD4870 or 9800GTX. The good side of the news is that your GFX card is probably so outdated that...
