Bottleneck ???

[Gfoose]

Hey guys.

I want to upgrade my graphics card to a 780
Linked here: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EM2JQ8E/[/URL]

My current PC specs:

CPU: i7-870 2.93GHz (Overclocked to 4GHz)
RAM: DDR3 8GB (4GBx2 at 800 MHz each with 8-8-8-24 timing)
GPU: EVGA GTX 560 Ti 2GB
PSU: Antec 750watt TP

Is my current build sufficient to have this card without bottlenecking my system?

Thanks.

There is a chance that it is, but probably by a pretty small percent. I know that an i7 2600k wouldn't bottleneck it.

DDR2 RAM might be an issue

I don't have DDR2? Since when do i7's use DDR2 memory?

You originally listed 667MHz RAM. Pretty sure DDR3 doesn't go that low without manually adjusting clock/bus speeds

Pretty sure DDR3 doesn't go down to 800MHz either

When it is 800mhz it's actually a 1600MHz kit just as 667mhz is 1333mhz.

Oh yea, DDR - Double Data Rate.

This might cause a small bottleneck on games like BF3 and Planetside 2.
having a better GPU still means you can max out your graphics settings. You will just always be limited in your FPS by your CPU. (So lowering your graphic settings wont affect your FPS)

the 870 is still pretty solid tough so dont worry about it too much.

The overclock has done wonders on increased fps. I used to average 30ish on BF3 with high settings.
