I have i5 750 on stock setting 2,66 and my intention is to overclock it @4ghz.
I need to buy a good air cooler...
Now my GPU is Gigabyte GTX 670 2GB Oc.
And for comparison, I clocked my GPU (over 1200mhz and + 750mhz on memory) which is stable, with official voltage. I got 10-20% better performance.
My Hitman Absolution benchmark as far as I can remember atm with my clock (everything max) is:
min:24-25
max:36-38
avg:28-29
The questions are:
1. How much of a bottleneck is my i5 and is it a bottleneck at all for GTX 670?
2. Would there be any bottleneck with my i5 clocked @4ghz?
3. If I would do SLI would i5@4ghz be too bad?
3. Would there be any fps increase @4ghz in this example that I mentioned above (or other games like Crysis or Metro series), and how much?
Thank You very much and hoping to hear opinions from people who are experienced with this stuff, I think this is really an interesting topic...
