billyfromhill Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 And you really think a dual core cpu can't work right with todays graphic cards?A dual core will work just fine, the problem is the CPU bottlenecks the video card. Even a mild overclock can yield a great increase in performance because the video card was being bottlenecked. A dual core with a GTX 295 will definitly bottleneck the video card and you will need to overclock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I am not sure that a dual core (in my example case, AMD) on AM3 socket will be a bottleneck since it's new gen. Nothing to do with x2 or x4 but more the fact if the generation of your card is the same as the cpu generation. If I use a CPU from 2005 with a vgx of 2009 it is logic that it will slow down and that's not because I got a x2 or a x4. There are other factors like the FSB speed...Correct me if I am wrong but I think that this sounds more correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
