    Default Q9450 vs GTX 460 SLI

    I'm thinking of expanding the current configuration of my PC. Currently I have a MSI GTX460 1GB SLI and would like a montarme a second card. The question I have is if my current processor (Q9450 at 2.66 GHz) could be a bottleneck for this configuration.

    If you get the Q9450 to 3.2 GHz minimum (the more the better) if you have little bottleneck will be charged ...

    Indeed, Q9450 at 3.2 Ghz with no problems. To make the SLI, I have to change the motherboard (mine does not support it). I have to do a new query in the forum of motherboards.

    What I mean is if you play, the GPU load up to 99% and maintained if the game needs that burden, so you know you have a bottleneck or not, if you never go up to 99% but are not limited fps is because the cpu no longer works.

    A "single" GTX460 for 1080 is perfect, and also if you have to change the motherboard do not see profitable. If anything would happen to the possibility of 1155, I think I would be more worthwhile.

    Sell your GTX 460 and GTX 480 Pillate one, but first I would try your card when you have your new monitor. I do not ride a SLI in anything but at least 1156. Before and after change of platform already, are you planning to do SLI or not.
