Holston · Jul 13, 2007

I am planning to get an 8800gtx from MSI or a EVGA brand.
The Card I am planning to get is a MSI GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768 MB
I have a AMD Athlon X2 4200+ OCed to 2.6 gHz. 2Gb of Dual Channeled Ram (OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 = DDR2

800). MSI K9N Diamond 590 SLI MCP Motherboard. And a Antec Trio 650 watt, 3 12v railing arrangment. Will

my system be Bottlenecked with a 8800 Gtx onboard, or not.

Yes, but it will still kick ass.

The top of the line CPUs are bottleneck by those cards.

it'll be bottlenecked at low res. but when you kick up the res and eye candy, the gfx card quickly becomes the bottleneck.
