Hey All:
I'm probably going to purchase a 780GTX in the near future as I'm the market for a new card and would just has soon have something that can last for 2~3 years (at which point I can buy a second card for SLI at a low price) then pay less now but have to upgrade sooner.
I am concerned, however, that the card will be severely bottlenecked by my current CPU. I am running an i5 760 @ 4.0 GHz. I have no problems with stability and am generally happy with the performance so I'm not necessarily looking to upgrade but also don't want to cap other components.
To the extent it will affect responses, I don't do any video rendering/editing on the rig and the only really process-intensive task for which the rig is used is gaming. Moreover, I currently play at 1080p but might be purchasing a 2560 x 1600 monitor sometime in the future.
Thanks, in advance, for any insight or suggestions you all might be willing to provide.
Regards,
