Hi goldfries,
Need advice, intend to pair my core 2 duo E4400(cant be OC coz mobo) with HD 5770, i dont mind got slightly bottleneck issue, but if huge i need to reconsider, based on your calculation, how worst it will be? I might be upgrading to core i 7 next year, but for now , wanted to play some nice game with better GPU. OR maybe i should get HD 4890 or GTX 260 instead? which will be wiser?

hi.
i’m thinking of building a desktop. What will it be if i pair E7500 with normal stock with GW 4850 HD 512Mb GS? i would prefer performance + low temp card. Is the card I mentioned good enuf?

@xian – your spec looks fine. if you refer to the article, you can see that we can test our bottleneck by overclocking some parts. I should write an article on that.

@dzimmo – yes, waste huh? I know some people who bought Quad-core (over RM 1k) and really expensive X48 board and run a single HD4850. damn!

Great article here. It’s surprising to know that a lot of people do not understand the meaning of bottlenecks. I’ve seen people pair up powerful graphic cards in SLI/crossfire but then have moderate CPU. What a waste!

hi bro~~~may i know with my proc e2160…
my problem is i don’t which graphic card should i go for…
i scared tat if i choose 4850…it will bottleneck by my proc
and as a result..the performance for 4850 will limit by the proc…mayb the performance for 4850 will same as 9800gt speed?
if like this…i would rather go for 9800gt ? and 1 more thing…my mobo cant oc…n i only got budget to get a gc…can help me to solve this problem?thx
