Will a i3 bottleneck my ATi 5770?

i3 530
Sapphire 5770
4GB DDR3-1600 G.SKILL
MSI P55-GD55

Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.
 
In CPU heavy games, it might hold you back a bit. Otherwise you should be fine. It's a good overclocker so if you do run into any issues simply knock it up a notch :D
 
Doesn't seem like it would much... experiment using different combinations of clock speeds and HT.
 
I have gamed at almost 5GHz with the i3/i5 chips and have found no issues at any point between with any of the chips. I recently ripped out a i7 920 from my gamer and replaced it with the i5 670...the 670 is so much smoother and more responsive it isnt funny. I usually use two GTX 280's or a single 5870 in the gamer with no hitches.
