System Bottleneck

[RCoon]

I'm currently running:

Asus Sabertooth 990fx
AMD FX 6200 @ 4.7ghz
16GB Crucial Ballistix 1866mhz
Corsair Force SSD 550mb/s read 525mb/s write
Gainward GTX 570 1280 GLH @ 790mhz
Gaintward GTX 570 1280 GS @ 790mhz

Is my processor likely to cause a bottleneck because it cant match the GPU power?

Always regretted buying AMD Bulldozer processor... It expected everything to run at 60fps on 1080p all maxed out, but sleeping dogs seems to run at around 40

cheers, I'll keep my eye on MSI Afterburner during gameplay, and I'll try removing super sampling.
I also assume 1280mb graphic cards can handle all extreme settings, or will it likely spill over into system memory, causing the drop in frame rate?

Ok did a benchmark of sleeping dogs with every maxed except the anti aliasing, set that to normal, and got 172fps max and 54 minimum with an average of 139. This super sampling business seems to be a little BS, but at least my system crunches through games at 60+. Just kindof expected with as much investment in a computer it might run everything at top notch.
Yeah i tried a 5Ghz run on my 6200, just didnt work, was marginally unstable on one of the cores (or should i say modules...) and even down to 4.78ghz is got the same calculation error, so i left it at 4.7 and it's stayed smooth.

Currently praying for AMD to release a processor that doesnt require 2 modules to share a single floating point. Sadly Vishera will not asnwer my prayers!

3570K would answers your prayers.

Purchasing a new processor and motherboard that is sli capable isn't a financial option at the moment
It would be nice to use tge same am3+ socket but for something good' though I guess the architecture after vishera will likely be completely different socket type.
