Hi,
I got good offer to buying GTX 1060 to little upgrade my old PC (not a hard core gamer, so let's say CS:GO on 70 FPS would be great )
The main issue is that my other HW is pretty old this time, but I don't want to throw it away.
My config
MB - only PCI Express x16 slot v. 2.0
CPU - Intel i7 920 ( Bloomfield - LGA1366 ) - overclocked to 3.7 GHz
I know, that PCI 2.0 will be OK with this card (if it's like a 5% drop instead of using PCI 3.0, it"s fine). But what about the CPU ?
How significant can be the bottleneck of this setup? Is it a bad idea to upgrade this setup this way?
Thanks
