where is the bottleneck?? Hi there, i'm planning on upgrading a few parts on my rig,
-one of these mobos
GA-990FXA-D3 GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990FXA-D3 (rev. 1.0)
GA-990FXA-UD5 GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990FXA-UD5 (rev. 1.0)
-gfx card
N560GTX Twin Frozr II/OC (already recieved one) MSI Global – Graphics Card - N560GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
(would like to get a second one)
other parts:
AMD phenom IIx4 955BE
2x 2gig Corsiar 1333mhz ram
So my question is this, where will I get a bottleneck in performance, and with todays latest games will I see and major performance increases if i get another gtx560 and run them in sli?
Hope someone could help me with this, or should I spend the money of the second gfx card and upgrade something else.....I'm note looking for braging rights, just as best performance I can....

Im building a rig with almost the same board right now
If you could get ram at 1600mhz you will be real good
the cpu i heard that it would be better to use BE edition phenoms such as the 965 70 etc

If you are buiding with the intentions to upgrade to Bulldozer, get 1866 ram. The Bulldozers are supposed to come with support of 1866, and i agree with Solarstarshines about the CPU. Then the only bottleneck would be the hard drive. An SSD will fix that, although I don't believe it will help much in gaming. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew - Always under construction OS Windows 7 X64 Professional/Windows 8 CPU intel i7-2600K Motherboard Asus P8Z68 V-Pro/GEN 3 Memory 8GB G.Skill Sniper DDR3-2133 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA 670 2GB Sound Card Asus Xonar Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD VW246H Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500/Logitech Wireless PSU CORSAIR HX850W Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Corsair H100 w/ 4 noctua fans in push/pull.

I'm the wrong person to ask about graphics setups. I know little about them, and less about SLI/Crossfire. All I know is that I have always been told, it is better to spend the money on a better card than to run Crossfire or SLI. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew - Always under construction OS Windows 7 X64 Professional/Windows 8 CPU intel i7-2600K Motherboard Asus P8Z68 V-Pro/GEN 3 Memory 8GB G.Skill Sniper DDR3-2133 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA 670 2GB Sound Card Asus Xonar Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD VW246H Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500/Logitech Wireless PSU CORSAIR HX850W Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Corsair H100 w/ 4 noctua fans in push/pull.

Essenbe is Correct i also considered a dual gpu set up but with todays technology a real good high end gpu is all your going to need
Plus less headaches with the set up of sli physX or even crossfire there is alot of problems with scaling and other issues games fps dropping the list goes on .... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by me Bulldozer series Generation FX OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit sp1 CPU BullDozer 8120-30p Oc'ed BE 4.5Ghz 1.44 V-core Motherboard MSI 990FXA-GD80 Memory 8 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance Ram 1600mhz-Oc'ed 1760 Mhz Graphics Card Radeon Diamond Hd 6870 1gb Msi Twin frozer Hd6870 1gb X-fire Sound Card THX tru souround sound audio Monitor(s) Displays 22" envision 1050dp hdmi 37in vizio hdmi dual monitors Screen Resolution 1680x1050 22"- 1920x1080 37" Keyboard Logitech wireless keyboard Mouse Logitech wireless mouse PSU AX850w Corsair Gold 80plus certified crosfire/sli Case 2-CoolerMaster Elite 371 Yes same case for 2 different Pc's Cooling Antec 620 Water cooling system and 4 120 mm LED fans Hard Drives Corsair 80 Gb SSD Seagate baracuda 500 Gb WD Mybook 500Gb Internet Speed Cable 20+ mb Other Info I have 2 systems Bulldozer AM3+ 8120-30P Oc'ed 4.5Ghz AM2+ 925 deneb 2.8 to 3.2 Ghz Both stable Both Gaming Rigs Diamond/MSI HD 6870 1Gb X-fire and Diamond HD5770 1Gb Also Hp Notebook 1.65 ghz Dual core amd E-450 8gb Patriot Ram DDR3 Discrete Gpu Hd6320 dedicated ram 1973 mb 15.5 screen OS Win7U 64 RTM CPU Q9550 Motherboard GA-EP45-UD3R Memory 8GB Gskill Graphics Card ASUS|EAH4850/HTDI/1GD3/A Sound Card xfi Plat Monitor(s) Displays Dell 2405fpw Screen Resolution 1920x1200 Keyboard MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 Mouse Logitech MX610 USB Cordless PSU Antec Case Antec Hard Drives Seagate & WD sata Drives where is the bottleneck?? problems?
