GPU bottleneck my CPU?

[bb12jo]

I have an i3 3220 and a sapphire 7950 3gb gpu, Will the GPU bottle neck the cpu? Any reply would be nice!

You mean if your CPU is going to bottleneck the GPU, I guess.
Yes, it does.

Yeah on big name games like crysis or battlefield you will lose 10-20 fps compared to an i5. It'll work but I would save up for an i5 soon after. Im getting an i5 when I get the spare cash. Since you get free games and the great price currently id still buy one then upgrade cpu down the line
