Will a stock Q6600 bottleneck a GTX260 Core 216. I am trying to decide between a GTS250 1GB and a GTX260 Core 216 for my XPS 420. The XPS has a stock Q6600 @2.4GHz and I'd really like to get the GTX260 Core 216 but I want to know if it will bottleneck. Any...

it in another thread but thought I could add to the epenis discussion EDIT: JJBLANCHE is right, I thought it was the same setup as the test done at 2650x1600 which got 9573 3d marks Very nice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that Q6600 looks like it's running...

optimized for it, at least that's my understanding. no something else is wrong i have also q6600 on 2.4ghz and zotac gtx 260 amp and i can max crysis on 1280x1024 which is very similar to your resolution. A G0 core Q6600 will usually run quite nicely at 3.0...

play at 1280x1024 all stress goes to the cpu . your cpu has low frequency , and those games are made for 2 cores. or there is something really wrong A Q6600 should be able to safely do 3.0-3.2ghz with stock cooler. I would not try for anymore than that though....

better unless price is a factor in which case the q6600 MAY be the best option for you If price is a factor q6600 is definitely the best option, given the $180-$340 difference (newegg price) means a $160 price gap, you can almost get 2 q6600 for one...

going through both PCI-E slots. Maybe try a slight OC on your Q6600 and see if it helps improve your score. I can't imagine a Q6600 being a bottleneck but stranger things have happened. I can not tell you whats wrong, but even for 1 GTX that 3Dmark score...
