Hey guys, do you think an intel E6400 Duo Core (2.13 x2) can get lots of performance out of a 8800gtx card? PLEASE REPLY. Ty. Oh, it's not going to be overclocked either. AND PLEASE TELL ME A SPECIFIC PSU THAT CAN HANDLE THE 8800gtx
LOL! You will not get at all the full performance with that! a stock speed of my E6300 will not get every ounce of potential from that! with my 7900GS, when I overclock my CPU, it got actually (no lie!) a 300 % increase in performance when benchmarking it (and in Battlefield 2) in megaflops.
The 8800GTX is simply so fast, it needs a fast CPU to keep it continually working. If you have a big monitor with a high resolution (21"+), and games on maximum graphic settings, then that will keep the 8800GTX busy working.
