crossfire/cpu bottleneck?????

[Rob_the_scot]

Oki a few post back I was asking if it was worth buying a fx set up for a certain price, well the good news is I got my dirty mitts on a Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 amd 990fx and 16gb of ddr3 ram corsiar xms (4x4gb) for a nice sum of £120, and because I bought a few other stuff I got the fx4170 for a awesome price of NOTHING that's correct a free cpu.

My question is will I bottle neck the fx4170 that runs stock at 4.20ghz stock if I ran 2x 6850s in crossfire?

I should point out Im not ocing the 6850s.

Probably, it is not a very high end CPU.

From what I see online is that those cards in crossfire do get limited by the CPU, some games more then others...
