Hello Hardwareforums! Currently, I am looking for an upgrade to my GPU. I am currently running: Mobo: Asus P7P55d EVO CPU: Intel i5-750 2.67 GHz RAM: 2x2GB G Skill PC3-12800 PSU: 750w Corsair GPU: ATI Radeon 4850 I was wondering, looking at the new GForce 580, that thing is a beast. However I'm not sure if my current setup would just be bottlenecking the 580 if I were to get it. Currently everything is running at stock speed (RAM auto-downclocked due to the i5s support for RAM speeds). However, I am capable of overclocking the processor/RAM (not sure if RAM would even bottleneck, not sure how much the speed matters there). Main question: Would the 580 be bottlenecked on my system with overclocking taken into consideration? And then in turn, what would be the best suggestion to upgrade to for the GPU?
I dont think any GPU can be bottlenecked by any CPU, RAM, or MB speed... all GPU performance depends on the PCI-e port you install it in. The rest (CPU, RAM speeds...) just allow for a better/faster gaming experience. Your CPU is pretty good. Your RAM is also pretty good but another 2GB stick wouldn't hurt.
