Thread: Will I have a bottleneck with the HD5770?

Well I think I will go for the hd 5770, and maybe when I'll need to I'll perform OC on my cpu. for now my stock cpu speed will do the job right? games arent that demanding now?

Yeah your welcome Sorry for "misleading" you haha :P

Don't let one of these people talk you into something that will aide you in screwing up your computer. Stock is fine. YES, games are demanding RIGHT NOW.......... buy the card already.

your friend is technically correct but he is also misleading you. gtaiv is a badly coded port that is even technically limited on core i7 builds (meaning that if you overclock a 920 it will get better framerates with the same video card). and you can overclock to 3ghz easily on stock cooling and voltage on a 620. i recently built a system for a friend with a 630 and its stable at 3.37 ghz with stock voltage and cooler. with an aftermarket...

I doubt you will have any issues up to 1920x1080 games

it may bottleneck some games, others it will be ok

A good Cooler and safe OC will still lower your CPUs overall life, but chances are good, if you are responsible, that you would upgrade long before it died anyhow.
