Will it bottleneck?

[Krait]

Hello everybody,

 

Two days ago my EVGA GTX 560 TI SC died on me and seeing that I'm kind of broken at the moment I asked a good friend of mine to lend me his unused Pallit 780 GTX Superjetstream (6GB version). As you might have noticed, a GTX 560 TI is a little bit old as per the industry standards, and therefore the rest of my components is old aswell, and as such I'm the proud owner of an Intel i5-2500, an ASUS P8H67 motherboard and 8GB Gskill Ripjaws.

 

And so my question is, will my CPU bottleneck this beast of GPU? I'm talking on games such as GTA5, League of Legends, Diablo 3, Team Fortress 2 and the upcoming Phantom Pain. Bear in mind that I don't "need" to run every game maxed out, I'm happy to run them on a constant 60FPS frame-rate.

 

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work on this awesome community!

nope you cpu will not bottleneck the card

[Vivilacqua1]

Yes, but it should be fine, although if you were to keep that card, get a better system!

 

EDIT- Maby a no

[Vivilacqua1]

no?   I dunno, but isn't that sandybridge? wouldn't a cpu that old bottleneck a 780?

How hard will I notice it? And like I said above, I'm kind of short on funds right now, and to get a new system I'd have to get a whole new system + purchase this GPU from my friend. And seeing that we're discussing the subject, if I get to purchase this GPU from my friend, how long will it "last" meaning: how well will it run future games on a steady 60fps frame-rate?

One does not simply run Diablo 3 at constant 60 fps. You'd need a RAMDisk setup ^^

[kameshss]

Maybe but not much.

When I said constant I really meant: "acceptable frame-rate more close to 60 and if possible not going below 50-55fps"

2600k here, though both overclocked, the GPU bottlenecks. Which is a good sign.

 

You'll have no issues getting 60fps in most, if not all, games

[Tommy59375]

Nope you will be fine.  CPUs have not really advanced much in recent years and there is not really a reason for gamers to upgrade from sandy.

Well that game has some pretty subpar texture streaming. It stutters, regardless of your setup (except running it on ramdisk). So don't go expecting it will and blame your CPU if it stutters.

[adamsjus1]

I would say no. I mean not a noticeable amount.  at least thats what I would think

To be honest, and seeing that the new patch came out yesterday, I'll probably play Diablo 3 for the next week or so and then put it to rest until the next big patch. At the moment I've been playing GTA5 the most, with the usual League of Legends and TF2 matches inbetween.

so for everyone explained which cpu bottlenecks:

Thanks, watching right now

Thanks, watching right now

so should be not bottlenecking i guess:)
