i currently have a Radeon R9 270 lying around frona recent upgrade and i want to put it into my little brothers computer but im not sure if the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 will bottle neck it.
Specs:
Q6700
6 gb of 1066mhz ram
PCI-E 1.1 A (I think)
Current Video card is a Radeon HD6450

Yes it will be be bottlenecked get core i5 4430 @ 3.0 GHz to run it perfectly also equivalent processors to core i5 4430 will run it perfectly

If u don't want to upgrade CPU as u also need to upgrade mobo for that u can go for that card with core2quad as it will run it almost perfectly (80%).

in order to upgrade to the i5 i would need to basicly buy and build a new pc but thanks you for the reply.

If u don't want to buy new PC go for it on current one but it will bottlenecked at least 20% 🙂
