Bottleneck GPU · DIGIT-ARC

Hi all,

My specs are : Core2Duo 2.53 GHZ, 2 GB 800 DDR2, MSI G31TM-P21 Motherboard.

I am trying to get MSI HD 5770 HawK edition for my PC at 7.5K, but HD 6850 is availabled at 9.7K and gives good edge over HD 5770. I am going to get a 24" Full HD monitor in next 2 week.

Will my proccy bottleneck HD 6850 GPU or HD 5770 ? Which GPU is the perfect balance with the processor ? Also, suggest best VFM monitor at 24" FULL HD monitor.

Please clear some doubts.

won't bottleneck but if possible overclock to 2.8Ghz on stock cooler. & do add 2Gb more ram.

@ ashis_lakra - one side question - what PSU do you have ??

i have ordered Corsair Cx400 from theitwares.com, and Rahul told me it can handle HD 6850 too

eagerly waiting for my package.. :))

Is HD 6850 absolutely safe with Corsair CX400 ??

hey dudes, 85 views and only 2 replies ? Come on, i just need information.

With your current config cx400 can even handle a HD6870 ;-)

BTW, congrats in advance ;-)

A lot of people dont know the answers so maybe thats why.

Also you are asking that question after ordering it already?

Due to the trend of current games, your dual-core CPU will be a bottleneck, and the stronger the GPU, more will be the bottleneck situations.

Higher resolutions tend to increase load on the GPU, thus making CPU bottleneck less of a possibility, but as I said, today's games.

You could do good upgrading to a SB dual, AMD quad, or just a 2nd hand LGA 775 Quad.
