Would this be a bottleneck?

I am returning my Gtx 560 because I went with the evga gtx 570 Hd. But I was thinking of keeping the Gtx 560 and putting it in my Dad's computer. He's got a Ati 5770 in their now. He also has an intel P35 Chipset with a E7200 Cpu with 4GB of ram. He's got a monitor that runs at 1920x1200. Now he doesn't really use it for games, but my 13 year old nephew does. He likes to play BC2, Crysis, Company of Heroes, and COD Black Ops. Would it be worth it to put the Gtx 560 in their, or would the rest of his system bottleneck the heck out of that card?

At 1900x1200? na it would be ok,( not a terrible bottleneck) but a 160$ gtx460 1gb would be just as good with that cpu.

it would help, but honestly the 5770 is good for most games at 19x12, it would help with more GPU intensive games.

His 5770 does play most of those games ok with med settings....maybe I'll just return the Gtx 560...

i know back when i had a 5770 it would go through COD MW2 like butter at 19x12

Yeah I probably will return it and get the $250 back..

makes sense. a 560 would certainly be faster in most games but you would not get nearly the jump over the 5770 with that cpu in there. a game like BC 2 probably would not improve more than a couple of fps.

 

[zod96]

That's pretty much what I thought. If it would have gained like 20+ fps then I would have kept the 560. But with the rest of his system bottle necking that card its probably not worth it.

return the GPU, the nephew wouldn't care

return the GPU, the nephew wouldn't care

and OP gets 250 bucks

can't say I'm a big supporter of frivilous returns
