Will my E6750 bottleneck a GTX 560?
Hey all,
I'm selling the machine in my sig to a friend of mine, and we're looking at the possibility of upgrading the graphics card. It's mu understand that I can pick up a GTX 560 for around $200, and theoretically it should blow that 8800GTS out of the water. My first question is, is that a correct assumption? My second question is, should this be the case, will the overclocked E6750 bottleneck that card? It's possible the 8800GTS is already bottlenecked, I really don't know (but I don't think it is). Does anybody have any advice on this? Is it really worth the upgrade, or will we not see any performance gains? Can anybody suggest a different card in this price range (or otherwise) where we will see a performance gain? I would do some testing myself to get some real world results, but I don't really have anything to test it with. I don't want to buy the card and not get anything out of it and then be stuck with it.
Thanks for all your help.
