What CPU will make my GPU the bottleneck?

[SunSamurai]

I can has reccomendations for Intel plox? I'm looking to make my GPU the bottleneck. My current CPU is obviously too slow for the GPU. AMD 64 Venice @ 2.25Ghz.

What resolution and what kind of games do you play? Something like Supreme Commander or FSX is going to be CPU-bound in pretty much any scenario, whereas Crysis will take as much GPU as you can throw at it.

I have a 512 GTS coming as a replacement so id like to know too 🙂

if u r staying with amd, then there's no cpu that will bottleneck it...

u need to get over 3.4ghz c2d is what i've found... but resolution and eyecandy are factors, too... i run 1680x1050...

to make gpu a bottleneck, play at higher resolutions with the most eyecandy.

If you play a simple resolution & low quality on your gts 512, each faster processor you throw at it will increase the fps accordingly.
