Hey all been thinking about upgrading while PC for a while now but cant really justify it just yet.
I have had this machine for around 4 years now spec as follows.

Asus P5QL
Intel Quad Q9300 @ 2.5GHz
8GB DDR2 800Mhz
Sapphire HD 5770
HDD F1 Samsung
550 Hyper X PSU

However i have just bought a new GPU from my brother: MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr 11 1280MB GDDR5.

However the main game i play [CS:GO] is still running @ same FPS around 100 and under in action. I have not done a full re-install of windows just uninstalling AMD Drivers took card out put 470 in and let windows do its thing then installed nvidia drivers.

Should i see a difference here or is this what they call bottlenecking ?
Any advice Cheers Neil.

Run Unigine benchmarks and compare with comparable systems. If you run massive AA, reduce it.
 
I suspect the CPU here is a bottleneck tbh a core 2 CPU at under 3GHz isn't really enough to fully get the most out of anything faster than a 5770 in many cases.
