Gpu bottlenecking

So I have an AMD athlon II x4 640 3.0 stock processor and I was wondering if it would bottleneck a gtx 670. I am hoping that soon I can get water cooling and overclock my cpu. Thanks for the help

 

Shouldn't be too much of a bottleneck for the 670 mate (or one at all), im running a C2Q @2.6 and a 7870LE OC'd and it performs bet ter than a standard 670 whilst OC'd with no botlleneck on my CPU. (Switched from an E8800 to the C2Q)

Scrapyard Build Total Cost: $268AUD


C2Q E8200 | 4 x 1gb DDR2 | GA-EP45-DS3 r1 | Gammax 200 | 320gb 2.5" | 7870LE PCS | Litepower 500w | CISCO Aironet 350

Interesting. My C2Q Q8300 bottlenecked my GTX 760.

I highly doubt that's the case  :P

How did you test that? Are you sure it wasn't just your clock settings/PSU not giving enough power/drivers?

Because i use that same GPU and PSU in my current build :)

Tested it in CS:GO (fairly easy to run game). Couldn't max it out without dropping fps when I was in intense situations (anybody near me lol, smoke, explosion).

I don't know if that's entirely true or your testing wasn't very well done but there is certainly no bottleneck. It would be a different story if it was an SLI 760/670 setup :lol:
