So my question is, is my 6990 bottlenecked by my CPU and so is it worth me upgrading my CPU / motherboard to improve performance?
I play games at 1920x1080 on a 120hz monitor. I play games quite competitively and try to keep as close to 120fps as i can at max settings (preferably vsynced). I want to avoid the FPS ever dropping below about 90 if possible.
I have a 6990 (stock) with an old i7 920 D0 @ 4.1ghz stable. 12gb of 1600mhz ram though its currently underclocked at 1164mhz but at 8 8 8 2t timings.
If i bought a 2500k and overclocked it to as close to 5ghz as I could, what performance increases would I see? Are we talking about 10fps max?
Many thanks in advance guys.
