Phenom bottlenecking 4870?

[outlaw1987]

Hey all I got a question, system specs are Phenom 9500 2.2ghz@ Stock multiplier locked mobo sucks cant OC this Chip. (Jetway) PA78VM5 MB
Kingston HyperX runs at 2.2volts supposed to be at PC8500 but my mobo wont let the volts go above 2.0volts so currently set to DDR2 800mhz
Currently running a HIS HD 4870 512 GDR5 at 790/1100 Maxed out from ATI OVERDRIVE which sucks. I wanted to know, my 3Dmark06 score is 9343 with all my driver settings lowered catalyst 9.3 newest drivers, even playing COD4 lowering some game settings managing to get higher fps all set to low even still ingame. ANYWAYS my question is could this PHENOM be bottlenecking my 4870's performance? The CPU only scores a 3100 score in 3dmark06 if i upgraded to a 9950 2.5hgz and upgrading my mb to 790fx or 750i and OCIng my cpu would i see significant changes? I know getting a better cpu would raise my score in 3dmark but would it give me better fps as well? and changing my MB also would give me the option to OC and go 4870x2? any help thankx much

lol should be my final post. I Oc'd the cpu to 2.44 Stable on air running 2 instances of CPU burn-in at 30 minutes running cpu @ 50% with temps reaching 48C and my conclusion that the bottle neck is not the cpu. This graphics card with this mobo nether one is that great. but for gaming the phenom 9500 is not a bad cpu www.canyourunit.com rated it at 6.14Ghz and i get all 5 bars for crysis and 4 bars for gta4. My CPU score for 3dmark went from 3100 to 3500 and overall went from 9343 to 1001 so wupti do mabe at 3.0Ghz or 3.2 id notice a bigger difference
