Hi everyone,
I was looking to upgrade my GPU to one of the GTX700 series (770 probably), but I've been told that there's no point because my CPU would cause a bottleneck.
My current specs are all stock;
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955
GPU - GTX570 OC (factory overclocked. I underclocked it a bit since I was having a few issues)
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws F3 12GB (3 sticks of 4 GB)
MB - Gigabyte GA-870-UD3P
PSU - Corsair HX620
I was also told that the 570 may already be bottlenecked as well. Would this be true?
