I honestly think it depends on how the CPU is implemented, as in, the set up it's being used in. Plus you've stated high-end cards, we're talking about a bottom end of the mid-range here.
I know that CPUs do create a bottleneck it's just I'm the sort of person that needs to proof when people say things along these lines.

Well i'm speaking from first hand experience, I first noticed what a cpu bottleneck will do when running a NForce 2 barton + X800XTPE a few years ago. When I moved that videocard to a A64 3200+ there was a huge increase in videocard performance. Enough so that it was noticeable without even running benchmarks it could be felt in game.

And as for the pervious post, I was running a x1950 Pro AGP on my Opteron 170 @ 2.7 Ghz and the bottleneck was small. however a 3850 is much faster and would increase said bottleneck. I would hate to see one of these cards in a P4 :banghead:

Exactly the explanation I was looking for Makaveli.

Morgoth, he won't hate you, he'll hate the lack of performance and the card's potential being limited.

I plan on using this with my present
P4 rig as an HTPC, why throw away a perfectly fine and working PC? No need for haters here
