CPU could be a bottleneck...

[jeremyrenner25]

Core i3 will not be bottleneck with a 7870, it has a much higher base clocks and a hyperthreading, but a G630 I doubt it..

[Sempron Guy]

depende sa game, but in general the answer is yes not because it's a pentium but because it's only a dual core

[lloyd_joy]

gamay ra man siguro na games ron na nag require ug quad core? bisan ang BF3, basta dili lang large maps, kumbati ra gihapona ang mga IB dual core CPUs... basta, nindot lang pud ang GPU...

mo drop ang frame rates once mag multi-player then large maps na... basin, contributor pud ang internet speed ani... don't know though if the latter holds true...

makita ra gyud na sa benchmark numbers ang dips... in real world, for me, mura'g dili ta maka bantay... sa naa'y experience ug bottleneck diri, share pud mo sa actual experience... ayaw nang benchmark kay numbers ra na...

bf3 and moh warfighter uses all four cores, average fps will be lower on a dual core set-up. Could take a massive hit on your minimum fps. Now sa dips, depende na siya sa game. sa user ug unsa kadako ang dip. Sa Torchlight 2 pananglitan going from 60 fps to 40 fps noticeable jud ang dip. FPS games dili kaayo. Sa multiplayer, nakasulay ko ug multiplayer sa BF3 sauna sa ako core i3 + GTX 460 set-up. ok ra biya. It performs as well as a GTX 460 should. But naa man puy ht ang core i3.

Bottomline is:

Theoretically speaking, yes naay bottleneck, based on reviews.

Real usage scenario, you may not be able to notice it.

Fact: for cpu intensive games, you may not be able to notice it also but that doesn't change the fact that you're card is not performing as it should which could take toll especially if the game an fps hog. Wala nay headroom.

@ sempron guy,

well said bro...

[keropi]

7870 = slight
7950 = yes

multiplayer = a lot

Sa Torchlight 2 pananglitan going from 60 fps to 40 fps noticeable jud ang dip.

medyo OT pero bitaw sah, ka bantay sad ko nga medyo ma hinayun ni siya nga game unya ma notice gyud ang dip...

but anyway, ka bantay pud ko nga most modern games mo utilize na sa 4 cores...
