| 1362713 | 2013-12-16 23:27:00 | I wouldnt worry too much about the bottle neck problem... it seems everything I read nowadays shows that bottlenecking is a bit of a myth. Using incredibly low end cpu's with high end gpu's results in next to no fps drop in demanding games that are gpu intensive. The only decreses in some games are caused by the games high cpu utilisation that isnt being satisfied by a low end cpu but is not bottlenecking the gpu, and to make it better newer games are using less and less cpu resources. Sorry mate, but that is all total rubbish.....if you pair a high end GPU with low end CPU, you will lose frames period....do I have to go search for the charts? |

| 1362714 | 2013-12-17 01:46:00 | Yeah I'd have to agree, most games these days are definitely becoming more and more CPU intensive, but then again we're also running them at higher and higher framerates and resolutions with fancier effects and things... Original Borderlands ran very happily with a single-core 3.2Ghz of mine. Borderlands 2 however not so happy, even with a dual-core at the same clock-speed :-/ | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
