Hey guys,
I've currently got a GTX 480 and was looking at upgrading to a 660. While comparing I saw that the 480 still scores better in benchmarks, a drawback being it pumps out heat to the point that hobbits come into my room trying to get rid of rings. I think that my cpu is bottle necking it hard, and just curious if you guys agree. I've got a phenom II x2 that I had running with four cores but my cpu cooler broke during a move so I had to lock it back down to two cores. This happened about a year ago and I still haven't gotten a new cooler. So... bottlenecking from cpu?
