Would dual 6800 ultra's in SLI bottleneck even the fx-55?

i dont believe the fx-55 was designed to totally run perfectly with 2 6800 ultras in sli. as i've read somewhere earlier, the fx may be bottlenecked because of the huge performance thrown in from the video cards. i do know that a lot of games nowadays are not crazily cpu dependant, but i'm just curious as to the possible bottlenecks. 🙂
 
What settings would you be using?
im sure it would be at high 1280 X 1024 but at max 4X AA 8X AF 1600 X 1200 (or even 1920 X 1440) it may not a bottleneck at all.
 
Don't worry he won't be using a 55 with dual 6800Ultras. Mikey what kind of damn question is this, who needs to even worry about bottleneck when you've got enough money for that crap anyway? 😛 Peace love unity and respect, no harm dealt.
 
I know hes not building it, but would it be so cool to run D3, Far Cry and HL2 at 2048 X 1536 Ultra (Max) 4X AA 16X AF
(We can all dream, right?)


I have trouble running Halo at high 1024 X 768 with a decent frame rate
 
that is because the port runs like a dog anyways. i can barely get my friend's copy to run okay on my system....and it looks like some 1998 game! HL2 runs smooth, and looks infinitely better and really makes my g4ms420 "shine" 😉
