At what point do you guys think a Xeon E3110(E8400) will bottleneck new graphics cards? At stock speeds.

Do any current cards bottleneck this CPU?
 
Depends on the resolution. Your CPU may be a "bottleneck" at lower resolutions, but your FPS will still be high enough that it won't matter. My old AMD X2 is still able to pump out 50+ fps in GRID with a 4850 just fine. I may be CPU bottlenecked, but when I'm getting a smooth 50fps I really don't care.
 
So I won't have to worry about it bottlenecking for awhile then?

Agreed that for the most part you're ok for now. But running that cpu at stock is a bit of a [H] crime you've likely got a free Ghz just sitting there for you to tap into. Your same cpu at 4Ghz+ even further alleviates a potential cpu bottleneck

so is there a "rule of thumb" with cpu gpu bottlenecking? i haven't really found a good article yet.
