Graphics Card question.

[Ripcat]

Have a simple question for the pc gamers on the forum.

I was wondering if i upgraded my card from my GTS 450 to lets say the eVGA GeForce GTX 560 would my computer be bottle-necking the GPU?

Computer specs below.

CPU: 3.00 gigahertz Intel Xeon 5160 Dual core (2 installed)

RAM: 4GB DDR2 333MHz

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)

your system would slow down a 560

When you say you have two installed, do you mean you have two separate CPU's? Or is it just the one CPU, with 2 cores?

Yes, your computer would have a bottleneck. Get a faster CPU and faster RAM as well: in the computer I'm building, I'm using 1600MHz RAM.

Wait a second...just re-read your RAM. DDR2? 333MHz? Are you serious? Is that information accurate? Because if it is, your RAM is simply woeful. The average, and I stress, the average desktop computer these days has DDR3, not DDR2, and the average speed is 1,333MHz.

It might bottleneck your card a little. You could use an upgrade to your ram and you might be able to overclock your processors a little more to lessen the bottleneck. Good luck.

Ram would be the main issue there, i have a 560 ti, and 6 gb of ram and 3.2 gHz quad core, and i can easily play any game at max settings with excellent framerate. I would simply suggest more ram because do to some features on windows 7 ram can get scarce.
