Will a procc like AMD Phenom X4 955 or perhaps an Intel Core i5 750 be able to optimally use a 6870? In other words, will the processor "bottleneck" the GPU's performance?

Bottleneck is present in every single system.

So yes, there will be bottlenecking here, but not very much

Okay since bottlenecking is present in every single system, will an AMD Phenom X4 955 suffice or would i have to get something better, ie the i5?

Even if there is, but with those kind of performance you're getting, it is more than enough for the current games in the market. It just a figure on the benchmarking score

Bro, after installing the hotfix 10.10d i got bsod while playing game, anything wrong, so shift back to 10.10 ccc

You should play every games available pretty well Most games are very GPU dependent and thus a strong GPU would benefit you more, unless you're playing games that are processor intensive e.g Starcraft II and GTA IV.

Alright guys thanks for the tip, i think i'll settle with the AMD Phenom then

hu guys,

how do i enable dual monitor with ati 5770?
the 1st lcd is 24' connecting with hdmi cable, while the other is 22" using dvi connector

i have some problems, because when i use a hdmi cable (24") alone, everything is ok,
but when i plug in the 2nd monitor (22", dvi connector), both will be no display,

fyi, im using windows 7

anyone can help me?
tried google, but all are regarded windows 7 how-to,
and ive try every options on windows 7 to enable the dual-monitor, still a no go

I'm not completely sure, but i think its true unless he plays GTA4

i will suggest core i5 760 for gaming.

have you tried connecting both using one type of cable only

Why on the earth you're still using CCC 9.12?
Now a day, people already using CCC 10.10. LOL!

How to install 10.10c hotfix? Do i have to uninstall 10.10 whql first?

Does ur gfx card detect both monitors when only one monitor is connected?
Did you set the resolution and refresh rate correctly for both monitors?
And, why don't you try the latest driver? It's version 10.10 now rather than 9.12. That's pretty old (~1yr ago?...LOL).
Anyhow, I never had any problem with hdmi+dvi dual screen mode on 5770 even with catalyst 9.1x. That's pretty weird.
