I7-2620m, bottleneck or good?

Question

I have researched a lo tinto CPUs and I know mine isn't the worst, especially since I just came from a core 2 duo T7700, however, is that CPU good for games or will it easily bottleneck my GPU? I mostly play skyrim, what's my maximum performance gpu I can use before the CPU starts bottlenecking it??

Answer 1

i7 is the current best.

CPU's do not "bottleneck" it is the Motherboard that does that.

MFGs match the CPU to the Motherboard, rarely to never do they put a "better" board with an inferior chip set.

WITCHER 3: is the most demanding current game.

• Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3,4 GHz,

• Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770

OR

• AMD CPU AMD FX-8350 4 GHz

• AMD GPU Radeon R9 290

with

• RAM 8GB

• OS 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)

• DirectX 11

• HDD Space 40 GB



"Overclocking" means the chip is not up to the job.

Answer 3

I think that with a little overclocking, this would be good.
