How much bottleneck will an intel core duo 2 cause on a 960/750ti?

[Helling]

Just as the title says, I'm thinking of building a computer for my brother and I have an old motherboard laying around installed with a intel core duo 2 (socket 775) and I want the build to be as cheap as possible.

I'm just wondering how bad the CPU will bottleneck a 750ti or 960.

Thanks in advance

i would jsut get a 750 ti for that and oc it abit a core 2 and the 750 will work surprisingly well

I take it as it would not work that well with a 960?

depends on the core 2 but i would chose a 750ti over a 960 on a build like this. it will be much cheaper you dont need a good psu and it overclocks significantly

A 750ti would be a decent match for it depending on the cpu. It's roughly the same as a 7850 and my overclocked e8400 was a slight bottleneck. The 960 is a fair bit stronger than the 750ti so would be more of a bottleneck. That was with the e8400 oc'd from stock 3ghz to 3.6ghz. If the cpu is slower than an e8400 or not overclocked, the bottleneck will be greater.

Okay, thanks for replying, in conclusion - a 750ti would be a better option for such a build.
