Will this bottleneck?

Like I said I have no interest in benchmarks and subjective testing that they bring I just play the games and if they look ok and run ok then that to me says all is running ok. My GPU usage does not drop off in BF3 and if it does it in other games it makes no noticeable difference.

Running benchmarks is an objective method of testing. Your method of just playing the game to see if it looks like it is running fine, is far more subjective.

Or did you mean something else by that comment?

My wording is more than likely wrong. I just play the games and if they run ok then all is well rather than worry about how many Points, FPS a benchmark gives.. If that makes sense..

The madness in this thread, A Phenom II quad will not bottleneck a 6950 or even a 6990 or even crossfire 5850's or 6950's especially if it can be clocked to 4.3ghz...
Personally I would sell your 5850 and get a 2GB 6950. Affordable 7x are going to be a while yet. A 6950 is more than capable of running every game available at 1080p and a noticeable step up from a 5850 especially in games like battlefield which seems to be the bassis of everything right now.

I was just wondering.
If I was going to go over to 6950, which of these to get ? Is it worth the £40 more for the second one?

Or would I be better of just getting a second 5850 and cross firing ?

and FYI, My CPU isn't overclocked it's at 3.2ghz but I do use CCC to overdrive it to 3.8.

Thanks
