Bottlenecking, yesno?

My littlebrother currently has this PC:

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz
  • 4GB (4x1GB) DDR2 800MHz
  • M3A32-MVP Deluxe
  • AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB
  • Samsung 320GB (320GB/16MB/7200RPM)
  • 750W PSU

Would I bottleneck the CPU by adding another 5770?
It's running BF3 on a 1600x1200 monitor at medium-high, and I was hoping to make it run smoothly at ultra.

You may see a CPU bottleneck if you throw in another 5770 - the X2 6400+ is quite an old CPU. Even if you did put another 5770 in, I doubt you'd be able to play at Ultra, two 5770s isn't the strongest setup.
