Will my Q8200 quad core CPU or 4G DDR2 ram bottleneck my Gigabyte GTX560 TI OC?

that's it.|||It does depend on what game you play. Games like Crysis 2 which is demanding on the graphics card and not so much on the CPU will not be bottlenecked. Games like GTA4 or Flight Sim X which are very demanding on the CPU will not stress the video card much because the CPU will struggle to get through the work if it's on highest settings.



To check whether you have a bottleneck you could run a benchmark test, record how many points you get and then compare your results with other people who have the same graphics card but a newer cpu and ram.



Another way to check if you have a (significant) bottleneck is to run a demanding game on the highest settings and record the frames per second. Then drop the graphics settings and keep the rest of the settings at the highest.

If when you drop the graphics settings your frame rate stays the same or similar then you have no noticeable bottleneck.



Every system has a bottleneck. It will only work as fast as its slowest part. It's just that some bottlenecks are negligible and others are noticeable.|||it depends on what game you play.|||R2D2 or C3PO|||No It will be fine|||no
