So Im not a computer expert or anything but I wanted to know with the following:



will my xfx 5850 be bottlenecked by my current processor? If so, how much of a hit will I be taking? (if that can be quantified).

Depends on the game. Crysis, probably not. Dragon Age, probably. TF2, probably not. BC2, probably.

Can't really put it into numbers without comparative benchmarks.
 
Depends on what resolution you play.
You will be bottlenecked in many games, but that just means you can increase graphics quality without too much of a hit (add AA etc).

Checking your email or creating a Word document won't be bottlenecked at all with your current video card.
 
Yes it will run great. Dont be fooled, CPU doesnt do rendering. But wait wait, How about a early look at nVidia next dual gpu single pcb Also your ram is good to. Install the game and enjoy. Your @ 3hz that is the sweet spot. performance will be as fast as it can on the video card.

What did you use before. anyhow... thx gl
