ATI 5870 with CPU

[DCFGS3]

Simple question, will an Intel i7 920 CPU (not overclocked, but I might do that) bottleneck my ATI 5870 Graphics card?

What game or program? It's not an blanket answer.

And don't forget to mention the monitor resolution in use either.

 

[DCFGS3]

It's primarily with gaming, MW2 etc

The resolution is 1920x1080

In gaming @ 1920x1080 with max graphics quality and filters more often than not the 5870 will be the bottleneck.
It's why CrossfireX and SLI are fairly popular with the serious gaming crowd.

Thanks, I do intend to upgrade to Crossfire at a later date.
