Bottleneck with Sapphire Toxic??

[WhiteHartMart]

I've currently got a 5770 and have been toying with a 6870, 560ti or 6950 for the past month or so.

Seen the 6950 Toxic and think that maybe my money should go in the direction just for the extra power and therefore longevity that it might offer - I know I should probably wait until the 7 series is out but I'm impatient. I'm also to try something from the Green Team but wonder if the 560ti is worth saving about £50 on?? Getting another 5770 is not an option with my mobo.

Anyway, my main concern is whether the rest of my system (built on a severe budget) will bottleneck any of these cards. System is:-

Q6600 @ 3.0ghz
4GB DDR 800
Lepa B Series 750W 80+

I game at 1920 x 1080 - on Metro, BFBC2 and of course BF3 soon, Crysis 2, iRacing and Borderlands at the moment in the main.

It will be fine since those games make good use of multi-cores. If you play older games like Crysis 1/Warhead, then you might get a bit of bottleneck since they are two cores games.

Not sure how many cores Borderland uses though.

Cheers - thanks for confirming that.

Now just got to make a final decision between the 6950 or saving a few quid and trying the 560ti instead - think it'll be the 6950 though
