How high of a gpu can I go before my cpu bottlenecks ?

Hi guys I have an i-3 2100 running a radeon 6770 but I found a decent deal on a radeon 6870 and a gfx560 ti will my cpu be fine or will it be pushed too far ? Thx

God no! Or as far as I know, it shouldn't what so ever, it's still a latest generation i3, so go for it!

Thank you I was a bit concerned if my cpu would handle it with no problems...

I would go with the GTX 560 ti, your gonna get a little more performance over the 6870. since the 560 ti sits inbetween a 6870 and 6950, No offense to ADM fans

Might have to up my PSU if I decide to go with the 560 I think.... Im only running a 500w Cooler master extreme
