| _crazy_man_ said: Another question. How do you know if your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU? I know my CPU won't do this if I do buy a GTX 580, I'm just curious. |
Well for example if you upgrade your gpu and your fps don't increase then it could be your cpu holding you back. Playing games at lower resolutions tends to put more stress on the cpu, higher resolutions are more about your gpu.
The i7 920 should be sufficient, although overclocking it a bit will help no matter what. i7 920's should be able to hit 3.0-3.5ghz with no problems. For higher speeds you'd need a better cooler. Can your mobo overclock?
