• Does an i3 bottleneck a 460?
    7 replies, posted
I've been wondering for a while, because the 460 is a 'fairly' high-end card, and the i3 is pretty outdated now. Also just for fun, here's my specs: 4GB Ram i3 2100 EVGA GTX460 Superclocked Win7
An i3 2100 isn't outdated at all. It is a Sandy Bridge processor, which is only a generation behind. And even after that its still a fairly new. If anything the 460 is bottlenecking the CPU.

The GTX 460 is not a bad card by any means, but with totally new games, you'll probably almost always (assuming that you aren't on a Pentium 4, C2D and that alike) be limited by your GPU - whether it'd be a GTX 680 or a GTX 460.
The 2100 is in no way outdated, how did you get the idea that it was?
