[jijoslin]

I just ordered 2 hd6950's to crossfire on my crosshair 3 mobo with amd c3 revision 965 at 3.91, with I have a cpu bottleneck?

Nope.

The short answer is you'll be good, the long answer is yes sometimes you will technically have a bottleneck. Don't expect 100 FPS on every game, but the reality is, if you get to 50 FPS you aren't going to notice a large difference beyond that, as most monitors are capped at 60hz (fps).

you will have a cpu bottleneck if your playing at 1080p resolution or lower. you may not see much benefit with 2 6950's over 1 in games that will be limited by your cpu. If your playing at higher resolutions/eyefinity that will push more of the strain onto your vid cards.
