Hi,
i will buy next week the MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozer iii and a new monitor the samsung S19A300B (1360x768) my question is will my cpu overclocked to 3.6 ghz will be a huge bottleneck or it will be small like 5-10 fbs and when i will get i will try to overclock the cpu a bit more as this overclock was achieved with a 3 y old G31 MB but will try with my new ASUS P5G41T-MLX so I need ur Help GD's, Thanks in advance.Hope i post it in the right place ;)

No not that much. I think people over exaggerate a little with the whole bottlenecking. I'd say you can safely buy that GPU, considering your cpu is overclocking to 3.6 , that's alot.
PC Specs
y i know when i compare it to i3 2120 it say 9% worse and 10 % worse than
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
Phenom 9850 Quad-Core
and 56 % worse than i5 , XD lol .
and that oc is done with stock cooler and 100% solid rock stable 24/7and when get the new MB will try to push it more ;)

I dont think that it will be a big bottleneck ! Maybe 10 to 15 fps difference will be there which is not much :D

thx buddy ,

Welcome ;D

Yes,there will be a bottleneck even when you overclock it, but for that resolution all games will run at decent settings for that GPU.

i know for sure that their will be a bottleneck but how much small or huge ?.
and i think a bottlenecked gtx 660 is thousand time better than gt 520 struggling to play games in med settings with 1024x768 or 1280x1024 , and hell no iam not paying 270 dollars to play in decent settings i want max . also i read some where that the more bigger res u use the more u load on gpu and unload from cpu ? if that right then i will get a 1600x900 led

You are correct "virusxsx". Higher resolutions is a quick way to soak up some video memory. I have 2GB on mine and it helps a lot. Your 660 will be a nice addition to max out games. The bottleneck probably won't bother your gaming experience too much.
PC Specs
thx buddy , but is't true that the bigger the resolution the more load on gpu but same load on cpu or even unload on cpu ?

It does make the graphics card work harder. Usually the CPU readies the information for the GPU, but different games run differently. Some use the processor more and others are more GPU dependent.
