Hiya :)

My E2160 is at 3Ghz, I wondered if this would bottleneck a HD4870 or 4890? 2048*1152 resolution, currently using an 8800GT 256mb...

Other Specs, Corsair HX620, P5K E mobo (P35), 3Gb Cheap DDR2 667, Antec 900. :)

IF it would bottleneck at 3GHz, what about 3.5? I can Get 3.4Ghz atm so maybe with some lapping. CPu cooler is an AF7 Pro.
 
I dont think it would bottleneck, my e6400 @ 3.4ghz doesnt seem a bottleneck for 4870x2. only difference is you have 1mb cache instead of 2mb. id try and clock it to 3.2-3.4
 
At that resolution the bottleneck would be from the graphics card, not the cpu. You don;t see much gain in games once you hit 3ghz or above with the cpu.
 
OH ****! :P

I forgot the most important bit :(

Would the E2160 bottleneck a 4870 or similarly powered card in gaming? Just thinking ahead...

EDIT: Whoops, it would seem I did ask if it would bottleneck a 4890. Still, any other opinions?
