CPU Bottleneck?

[dannycivic02]

Ok I have just ordered a new gpu a 6950 and Have read somewhere about cpu bottleneck and was wondering if I am likely to experience it with my current setup? Or is it time to upgrade cpu?

Im running core 2 duo e6750 with 4gb ddr2 on win 7 64bit.

Cheers

Dan

Get a nice little quad and you will be jamming , 2500K if you can afford it

Haha thats what I want you guys are great at helping spend money lol. I was going to try and wait until when ivy bridge came out in the hope 2500k would drop in price but can I really wait that long.

I know unfortunately im running a Dell mobo so no overclocking for me.

yeah, dell are balls. no point upgrading mobo you may as well get a new CPU and mobo together to last you much longer. 2500k is the one or a 955BE if you want to save a bit of money - that'd be enough to switch the bottleneck over to your graphics card.
